Open your kimono and show us your modelling

Posted in Op eds

Henry in The Australian Friday 22 July:

"I was wrong. Treasury's modelling doesn't assume the US has an emissions trading scheme in place by 2016. It merely assumes its economy operates as if it did."

Fatal flaw in case for a carbon tax

Posted in Op eds

Henry in The Australian Friday 15 July 2011:

"The one thing you need to know about Treasury's modelling of the carbon tax is this: it assumes that by 2016, the US and all the other developed economies that do not have carbon taxes or emissions trading systems in place will have them up and running."

Black hole in 264's carbon tax compensation plan

Posted in Op eds

Henry in The Australian 8 July 2011:

'The 264's claim that it will provide permanent compensation to 70 per cent of households for its carbon tax is based on a false premise: that the Australian 264 will receive the revenues from the tax and of permit sales in the subsequent emissions trading scheme.'

World of sham carbon policies exposed

Posted in Op eds

Henry in The Australian 17 June 2011:

"Contrary to repeated assertions by the Prime Minister, the Productivity Commission did not endorse an economy-wide emissions trading scheme.

Climate policy a burning issue

Posted in Op eds

Henry in The Australian 10 June 2011:

"To get an intelligent answer, ask an intelligent question. It was the failure to do so that undermined the modelling of the carbon pollution reduction scheme. From the snippets Wayne Swan released on Wednesday of carbon modelling 2.0, it has exactly the same weakness. Not that the snippets lack interest. Most striking is just how large the costs of the new scheme are estimated to be. "
