Day One, Mistake One.
Knacker Lacker says no new taxes, but apparently levies are different. "What's the difference?" you ask. I'll let Mr Latham explain.
"There are levies and there are taxes, and I think economists have got clear definitions of the two and I think that's all established in economic theory and practice,"
??????????????????????????????? Please explain!

That's the whole point Jeremy. The ALP has continually bagged the government for using levies that are really taxes. You can't scream when they do it and then do it yourself without looking like a goose.
Of course the press is totally ignoring it - and who's in the headlines now? Oh, it's our old mate Scrafton, since Galt's been discredited.
Meanwhile, Crean says Labour will release its tax policy when it wants to.
Arrogant bastard.

Again, you seem to have missed the point.
If it was wrong for the Libs to call a tax a levy, then it is wrong for the ALP to do it. Simple really!
