He agrees with me. I regret to have to say this, but we are seeing the old Labor class war. The Labor Party has to relate somehow to its grassroots. We had Mark Latham’s attack on private schools in the last election and now we have Senator Evans attacking the very popular and important government FTB part B measure. It might work well in the trades halls around Australia, it might even rate well on the diminishing Labor Party branches around Australia, but it does not relate well to the Australian public.
