I am shocked to see such a denegration of Dr Ken Henry in this thread. I wonder how much of his considerable writing these posters have read. I looked for just one piece among the full set of his output as Treasury Secretary that is available on the Treasury website. I chose this one:
GLOBALISATION, POVERTY AND INEQUALITY: FRIENDS, FOES OR STRANGERS? KEN HENRY, SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY 2002 Economic and Social Outlook Conference: "TOWARDS OPPORTUNITY AND PROSPERITY" organised by the Melbourne Institute and The Australian http://www.treasury.gov.au/documents/266/HTML/docshell.asp?URL=default.asp
I think Australia would be much worse off if it had not been for his enlightened direction of our economy, society and environment. My only regret is that more of his ideas were not implemented. I look forward to how he chooses to play a role in the world in his reamaning years.
