Dear comrade Lapdog,

Of course the leftists can take the high moral ground again because Hawke said on 23 June 1987 at the ALP election campaign launch, "We set ourselves this first goal: by 1990 no Australian child will be living in poverty."

But like any good leftist argument,

The printed version had it as: "By 1990 no Australian child need live in poverty."

Typical revisionist nonsense from the left.

Why not just bring back that great man H. V. 'Doc' Evatt.
