  Simon Crean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is the son of Frank Crean, a federal Labor MP from 1951 to 1977, who was Deputy Prime Minister in the government of Gough Whitlam.
At the 1990 elections, Crean was elected to the seat of Hotham in the Australian House of Representatives, and immediately entered the Hawke ministry as Minister for Science.
However, in the aftermath of Labor's defeat in the 2004 election, many in the Labor Party felt that Crean's performance in the campaign was poor and he was partly responsible for Labor's defeat: as a result, Crean resigned from his Shadow Treasurer position.

 Frank Crean, Treasurer - www.theage.com.au
Crean describes Whitlam today as neither friend nor antagonist and thinks the last time he saw him was about 20 years ago.
Crean recalls Whitlam was "not 100 per cent strong" on economics and ruled by playing favourites, relying on a "kitchen cabinet" made up of those who agreed with him.
Crean was later dumped as treasurer in favour of Jim Cairns partly, he says, because of pressure from Labor in NSW and because Whitlam "wanted to get rid of me because he felt I prevented him from doing things he wanted to do".

 ALOR - OnTarget Vol.10 - No.28
Commonwealth Treasurer Frank Crean reacted to the 4.1 percent increase in the consumer price index for the June quarter; by stating it "was disappointing that the improvement for the March quarter figures had been so quickly and so markedly reversed." The fact that Mr.
Crean was disappointed indicates just how much he is out of touch with reality.
Frank Crean says that the Government would not "recoil from taking steps necessary to curb inflation." It is certain that a continuing credit squeeze, high interest rates, and still higher taxes, will be just as futile in the future as they have been in the past.

Crean was not a diarist, so Smith relied on interviews, letters, the diaries of Crean's contemporaries, and previously published works for this captivating account of one man's often overlooked contributions.

Crean has been seen as a leadership prospect since he became president of the ACTU in 1985, his career marked by a drive to overcome his reputation as an uninspiring, if competent, technician.
Like his rival now, Kim Beazley, Crean is the son of a Whitlam minister - Frank Crean having served as treasurer.
But it was the clout of the unions in the ALP that made Crean's opening gambit as leader even tougher - to reinvigorate the party with internal reform.

 The Whitlam Institute: Its Time: Issue 23: National Archives 1974 Cabinet Papers release   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Frank Crean, Treasury's nominal spear carrier for most of the year, told Cabinet in February that, while inflation remained 'rife', there was no need for any further curbs on demand, little change was expected in the number of registered unemployed and the employment rate was expected to rise.
In July Crean told his colleagues that there was 'no shirking the fact': Australia was in the midst of 'an inflationary crisis' where 'wages have gone through the roof', average weekly earnings would rise by 25 per cent in 1974-75, and the rate of inflation could reach 20 per cent.
Crean proved to be ineffectual and Whitlam was left to defend the measures against an assault led by Jim Cairns and Clyde Cameron.

 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Rather than focussing on her life, Crean devotes her attention to Carr’s writing endeavours: she has undertaken the labourious task of transcribing and making available to the public most of what had remained unpublished by Carr.
Crean speculates that the excisions were made to accommodate the primary readers (school children) but were more plausibly motived by racism: the removed stories “reflect back on Carr’s own time [.
Sophie Frank was, as Crean claims, the “only indigenous artist with whom Carr had an ongoing relationship.” That Klee Wyck was dedicated to Sophie and that Carr kept her letters suggests the importance of this woman’s function in her life.
