The best one comes down to the shadow Treasurer. Many years ago, when he was talking about the issue of tax cuts, he said:

The other tactic is to portray the Labor Party as being opposed to tax cuts or being opposed to tax cuts for high-income earners. Both of these allegations are untrue … We all like a tax cut. Everybody likes a tax cut. People at the upper end of the income scale like a tax cut, and they deserve a tax cut.

That was from Chris Bowen, now the shadow Treasurer, back in the June 2005. This shadow Treasurer cannot stand up to his own shadow.
