Antinuclear

Labor Party transforming Australia into John Howard’s dream

Labor invokes ghost of Coalition past, SMH, Russell Marks December 6, 2011   The party’s long-standing ban on exporting uranium to India reflected a principled commitment to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and was a major point of difference with the Liberal Party. Principle and point of difference are now gone Despite expectations that it would reverse the Howard government’s paternalistic and racially discriminatory Northern Territory intervention, Labor retained the basic frame and actually extended it to encompass additional welfare recipients……..

The Rudd-Gillard administration has not changed Australia. Rather, it is changing the Labor Party to fit into John Howard’s Australia, and is rushing headlong towards electoral irrelevance. Given that the Liberal Party will always be a better fit for Howard’s frame, why would anybody vote Labor? .. http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/labor-invokes-ghost-of-coalition-past-20111205-1oeq9.html#ixzz1flx91dNW
