 Australian Fascism : Melbourne Indymedia
Gerard Henderson is a right-wing skirmisher who heads up The Sydney Institute, a conservative think-tank which organizes guest-speaker lectures, and publishes a journal and a magazine.
It was here Henderson imbibed the politics of anti-communism, cutting his teeth as a propagandist defending Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War and attacking the radical student and anti-war movements of the 1960s.
Henderson's obsession with contemporary use of the term fascism should be seen as a rightist ploy, an attempt to divert attention from the significant evidence and analysis contained in the work of Moore and others, to prevent it from gaining the currency it deserves, and to prevent it from helping us understand future political possibilities.

Gerard Henderson's recent piece on patriotism in the Sydney Morning Herarld is called Rallying around the flag is no jingoism.
What Henderson seems to assume is the equation of nationalism with ethnic nationalism which is concerned with ensuring that each nation (a people bound by ethnic ties) should have its own sovereign state.
Henderson is quite right to reject this for Australia, which by and large has become a multicultural society.

Henderson laments the fact that while the Democratic Labor Party had been the first to condemn the "White Australia" policy, now News Weekly was giving some comfort to the views of Pauline Hanson.
But perhaps the most revealing comment by Henderson in his criticism of the current nationalism of the N.C.C. is that when they call for Australia to regain its sovereignty and criticise foreign investment, they are echoing the very same views, which their Communist opponents put forward.

 tubagooba.com » Blog Archive » Gerard’s Wedges
What this paragraph reveals is that Gerard doesn’t understand what a “wedge” issue is. Menzies and Chifley were advocating radical policy with a strong ideological base.
What Gerard is trying to say here is that the ALP and the Coalition are just two political parties who still stand for what they’ve always believed in, so everything’s hunky-dory and the crisis-of-democracy naysayers are all deluded.
It’s crap, as revealed by the fact that his summation of their positions steers itself around all but one of the issues that could possibly be described as a wedge issue, that one being gay marriage.

 Green Left - Issues: Doomed to repeat history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Gerard Henderson, a supporter of the United States and allied occupation of Iraq, asks those who oppose it what we’d advocate for the country.
To try to make out, as Henderson does, that the Iraqi resistance is just a small band of armed insurgents, is to miss the main point — the majority of Iraqis want the occupiers out of their country.
Henderson’s attempts to smear the peace movement — and its leading international figures such as John Pilger, Tariq Ali and Arundhati Roy — as those who simply support “terrorism” is hypocritical.

In his original article on Andrew Wilkie, published in the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald, Henderson claimed that “as part of his confused and confusing performance at a parliamentary inquiry”Wilkie argued that “pre-war, the government had maintained Iraq possessed a ‘massive’ and ‘mammoth’ WMD arsenal”.
In his letter to the Editor in Chief of the Age Henderson appears to amplify the nature of Wilkie’s supposed misrepresentation like this: “The fact is that Andrew Wilkie alleged that the Howard government had claimed that Iraq had a ‘massive’ and ‘mammoth’ arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
In order to show that it is Henderson and not Wilkie who is grossly misrepresenting the position of the Howard government, the context surrounding Howard’s use of the word ‘massive’ with regard to Iraq’s WMD arsenal is helpful.

 Thanks for the compliment at Antony Loewenstein
Henderson’s attack on Antony is typical of the shallow, nitpicking approach to so-called debate that his articles rely upon.
It is all quite simple, says Gerard: “Successive administrations in Washington have determined that their support for the democratic government in Israel is consistent with US interests in the Middle East.” Yes, Noam Chomsky has referred to Israel as America’s “attack dog” in the region.
Gerard continues: “This policy is deemed by the Coalition and Labor to be in line with Australia’s interests.

Not in your name, indeed, and former secretary to B.A. Santamaria, Gerard Henderson, has laid down the law in the Sydney Morning Herald, as a kind of cultural commissar for religion, attacking most world religious leaders for not supporting the same war.
Anne Henderson, his wife, who is his partner and collaborator in the right-wing think-tank, the Sydney Institute, has published a number of useful books on migration, the experience of Catholic education and Catholic religious experience, which are workmanlike and culturally useful.
Henderson has the problem of trying to explain, or understand, why most world religious leaders, including His Holiness the Pope, have been so vehement in their opposition to this Iraq war.
