Coalition waged class war under Howard, but Labor took the high ground: Beazley

Former Opposition Leader Kim Beazley has told an MUA dinner to mark the 10-year anniversary of the 1998 waterfront dispute that Work Choices won last year's federal election for Labor rather than the party's broad strategies and policies. He also accused the Howard Government of waging class war against the labour movement, but maintained Labor took the high moral ground by not responding in kind.
