Opposition "Leader"?

THE LETTER PUBLISHED

Simon Crean was such an easy target. I think the main point of this letter was to highlight ALP hypocrisy. Also, it's easy to get published in a paper like The Age if you write in support of a right wing politician.

Dear Sir,

In the run-up to the last federal election and since, the Labor Party has consistently attacked John Howard for what they say is his "fear campaign" over asylum seekers and illegal immigration. Now Simon Crean is playing on the public's anxiety over the terror threat in an attempt to justify his anti-war stance and play politics by dividing the nation at a dangerous time. It's a desperate and shameful performance, Simon.
