does "economic conservative" = "social democrat" dave?
& what about this?
-----------------------------------------------------------
MOST farcically, only nine months ago Rudd thought John Howard’s deregulatory policies were so good that he claimed Labor leaders Bob Hawke and Paul Keating thought of them first, deregulating the currency, airlines, banks and other industries.
“By comparison, the period since (Howard’s win in ‘96) has been relatively inactive in terms of fundamental economic reform.”
But now Rudd claims this economic approach was in fact such a disaster that Howard was responsible, after all: “(This crisis) is the culmination of a 30-year domination of economic policy by a free-market ideology that has been . . . called neo-liberalism . . . The political home of neo-liberalism in Australia is, of course, the Liberal Party.”
