Latham savages 'Seinfeld' election... a show about nothing

Former Labor leader Mark Latham has attacked his ex-party's election policies and says both major parties in this election campaign are pandering to the materialism of voters.

Mr Latham has been publicly silent since he quit parliament soon after the last election, but he has re-entered the fray with an article in today's Australian Financial Review.

In it he writes that the election is "a Seinfeld election, a show about nothing" and that there is no real difference between the parties.

"The dominant ethos is greed, not generosity ... I expect a Labor administration to be even more timid, more conservative," he wrote.
