Labor Reveals Integrity Plan
'..Announcing their plan for integrity in office, Opposition Leader Mark Latham and the party's Senate leader John Faulkner said they were determined to improve on what they called the poor ministerial standards of the Howard government. "Labor is ready to govern and we will do so with high standards of integrity and accountability as our guiding principles," they said in a statement.'
You know, i hadn't thought of it before, but if the ALP is going to go for the kill on the issue of honesty and integrity as Howard's weak spot, then that is going to put pressure on them to act with those qualities themselves. That'd be nice for a change (and hopefully last longer than Honest John's supposed Code of Conduct).
