Economy Comes Last in Dog Fight
Mark Latham telling us that Kim Beasley is not fit to lead the Labor party is bit like the chip on the shoulder belting the chip off the old block.
Kim Beasley certainly seems to be part of the old block and block is the operative word. The aborted block on the tax cuts is now shifting to a block on industrial relations reform. This blocking agenda, run by big unions, consigns the Federal Labor party to continue their drift further into the sea of irrelevance.
It seems like the Liberal National Coalition is forming is own opposition party to replace Labor, because as PM John Howard says, Labor do not know what they stand for anymore.
Mark Latham got it right for once Labor certainly appears to be a "spent force".
So who is tagging the government on the economy? certainly none of the Labor roosters - why bag record employment levels and pending tax cuts, that may lead to an unhealthy serve of egg on the face, not a good look for leadership aspirants.
