If he didnt get elected and we got Mark Latham who knows what hours we would have to work to pay for things.
[/QUOTE]Just because Latham ran the most niave campaign in political history (worse than Kerry by a long way) does not mean that he would have failed as a leader, he has always been right wing of the labour party except on the bedrock of socialism that of health and education. Many of his (Lathams) policy's are way too right wing for me and many traditional socialists.

Though I do tip my hat to Howards economic management, I do wonder how much of that has been fuelled by the fallacy of borrowings against unsustainable house price rises.

But any government that gives that idiot Abott the time of day deserves contempt
