I struggle to understand how you think that pulling both sides of the divide together for constructive debate is a bad thing.
I understand your struggle when compared to Hawke's summit. Whereas now:

- Unions represent less than 15% of the workforce yet command 23% of summit delegates.

- Six Labor premiers yet only 2 Liberals.

- Two left wing think tanks yet no conservative ones

- No bank chiefs invited but rather ex Labor premier Anna Bligh as head of bankers assoc.

- two union-linked super funds run by Nicola Roxon and the president of ACTU

- two Human rights council delegates, three from Big Welfare, one from single mothers, a token Ethnic council, an Equally rights advocate, six from indigenous groups, plus AOTY Dylan Alcott. Jr

- the battalion of global warming activists, academics and green energy carpetbaggers.

-or the missing small business reps covering 7.2m workers.

Nup this isn't a consensus summit a la Hawke but rather an agenda driven summit. And Albo is no Hawke. A better comparison would be Rudd's 2020 summit. A Labor love in.

"- Two left wing think tanks yet no conservative ones". ..... so you don't count the IPA as conservative? or the Spectator, Michael Smith, the Menzies Society, and all the other far right wingtipper orgs that have multiplied since Howard's early days?

you're a perpetual victim of the loonie lefties pow. I feel for your hard life mate
