That is the Labour Party for you.
Much of what Mr. Moran had to say in the document is about equity, leadership and very positive things. Equality is a political decision but it is also a policy decision. The last budget hit lower and middle-income groups disproportionately, in a way that even the previous austerity budgets did not.
Where does fairness rank as a policy priority for Mr. Moran and his team? Does he do an equality budget, and is he open to that?
