Freedom does not include the freedom to act unjustly, to harm the vulnerable, to wreck and pollute. One can be free and equal under the law, but powerless at the same time. There are no level playing fields when some families don't begin equally. One only for those who can afford to buy good health and buy good education. It is being there for others as in times of bushfire, flood, in delivering meals to the elderly or as volunteers at the Olympics.
Labor seeks more involvement in the great issues of the day in our multicultural community.
Because Labor unlike others cannot tender out its conscience. It cannot contract out its basic beliefs. Labor's heart is not for sale. Of course the drive of market forces is needed for investments and jobs. An active government can be the ally of enterprise and we will be.
