Labor Solution

The old gaffer Crean is back at it when he commented about the "8.5 million forgotten Australian families" in the upcoming tax cuts.

Costello enjoyed this one, he was quck to point out that there is only 4.9 million families in Australia.

I don't think Labor can afford to have someone as error prone as Crean sitting around on the front bench - thank goodness they replaced him. Former Labour PM Paul Keating, in his biography, had the habit of calling people 'Creanites'. This meant your economic credibility was shot.

Latham isn't without error either. He commented on Radio yesterday that his family was part of the "60 per cent of the country that has been forgotten in this budget". As much as Latham wishes to portray himself as one of the little guys I don't think anyone other than he believes the leader of the oposition earns less than $52,000.

Bring back Paul, we miss you.
