	Editor's Odyssey. A Reminiscence of Civil Service
		Editor's Odyssey owes its origins to the late Sir Rupert (Dick) Hamer, who asked Henry to write a memoir of his experiences editing the Victorian Year Book.
		The next day, Bishop James Grant mentioned to Henry that he believed there was much merit in the manuscript and asked for a copy for the Mollison library.
		I consider him to be the only "renaissance" Premier of Victoria: a soldier, scholar, patron of the arts, and statesman who saw the importance of the environmental movement before the electorate did.

	Chris Hamer-Hodges: Carrying the Baton
		I love reading the Bible, and read it at least twice a day, but apart from when I am on holiday I tend not to read a great deal of other books.
		To give you an idea of my general pace of reading, it took me nine months to read Moby Dick (but it was worth it).
		The book I have chosen is "The History of the Church, by Eusebius." It may strike some as odd that an ancient history book, rather than a modern inspirational Christian paperback can be lifechanging, but let me explain why.

		After governing for 17 years, Sir Henry Bolte, a politician from the pre-TV era with a face like two oysters on a fine china plate, retired to be succeeded by the genteel Rupert "Dick" Hamer.
		With the state hit by electricity shortages, Hamer was unwise enough to be on a government trip in America.
		He quickly returned to the state to be met at the airport by his cabinet colleagues, who held a pillow over his face until he stopped moving.

	PWHCE - The Democratic Labor Party (DLP): An Oral History
		Had Dick Hamer kept his 1973 election promise to reform the Upper House we would have had Upper House seats in Victoria.
		In 1976 there was a state election and because Hamer had broken the promise of electoral reform, the DLP strategy was to run candidates in about half of the seats.
		Because the DLP could not bring itself to recommend preferences to the ALP, the strategy was not to run in half the seats, so that the Liberals would lose seats, and would be forced into coalition with the Country Party, in the hope that we would then get electoral reform.

	Victorian Election 1999 (Research Paper 19 1999-2000)
		Hamer was replaced by Lindsay Thompson in 1981.
		Despite this historical tendency, the Victorian Government campaign in 1999 was probably unprecedented in the intensity of its focus on the political head of government.
		The Victorian Liberals under the successive leadership of Henry Bolte, Dick Hamer, Lindsay Thompson and, initially, Jeff Kennett, had always had caucus election for most of their front bench.

		In an article I wrote for Quadrant a couple of years ago I chronicled how ‘economic rationalism’ was blamed from everything from the decline of Sydney University’s music department to leaks in Melbourne’s Burnley tunnel.
		Now, it seems ‘the ascendancy of economic rationalism pushed Hamer from power’.
		I admit I am a bit hazy on why the late Dick Hamer left office in 1981, but any kind of economic rationalism was two years away in federal politics, and eleven years away in Victorian politics.

		It's a government not in the liberal tradition of a Dick Hamer, or even the development tradition of a Henry Bolte.
		Rather, this is a government that elevates the bottom line to the status of holy writ and which cheerfully disregards the social responsibility of government.
