 Media Release 19/03 - Labor's Hidden Agenda on Telstra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In a media statement of 1 July 2003, Bob McMullan has exposed Labor’s policy on Telstra.  A Labor Government would use Telstra as its “cash cow”, ripping huge additional dividends out of the company to fund their spending promises.

McMullan’s analysis has the dividend rising to 31 cents per share by 2008-09 if Telstra remained 50.1% publicly owned.

Mr McMullan is somebody who is yet to produce an economic speech or an economic policy.
And the only interesting thing I have seen him say recently was that Labor did not have a tax policy in the last election, it had no economic policy, which was a direct swipe at Mr Crean.
