big kim comes out hitting with an eye to the past

Kim Beazley has come out with a new vision for Australia, which looks a hell of a lot like his old vision for Australia.
There was no need for Peter Costello to state that:
"But if he can come to terms, I think, with the mistakes of Labor's past, if he can strike out on a new direction, especially in economic policy and support what the Government is doing, then I think he'll make a new start."
because much of Kims old policies, especially in regard to issues such as Refugees and Iraq, were a reflection of the Howard agenda.
