I do remember last year when it seems Latham could be the Prime Minister of Australia, many compared him with Paul Martin because of his relatively fiscal free-market orientation, and his triangulating posture with the United States (doing just enough so as not to appear openly anti-American as Jean Chretien, but of course not supportive of the US as does John Howard).
Does it seem to you he sounds like Paul Martin, now that we have access to his diaries?
