 Kim Beazley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kim Christian Beazley (born December 14, 1948), Australian politician, is a former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, and has been Leader of the Australian Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition since 28 January 2005.
Beazley was re-elected as federal Labor Leader when the Labor Caucus met on 28 January, following the withdrawal of the other potential candidates, Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.
Latham's abuse resulted mainly from two allegations: firstly that Beazley had engaged in a prolonged campaign to undermine Latham in his positions as a frontbencher and as opposition leader and; secondly that Beazley (as leader) had failed to provide support to Labor MP Greg Wilton, who later committed suicide.

 Kim Beazley, junior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Kim Christian Beazley (born December 14, 1948), generally called Kim Beazley junior, Australian politician, was born in Perth, Western Australia.
His father, Kim Edward Beazley (generally known as Kim Beazley senior), was Labor MP for Fremantle, a working-class district of Perth, from 1945 to 1977 and Education Minister in the Government of Gough Whitlam.
On 2 December Latham defeated Beazley by 47 votes to 45, ending what was almost certainly Beazley's last chance to lead the Labor Party.

I prefered senior and junior (NOT Sr and Jr for reasons we have discussed elsewhere), but I didn't feel it was worth arguing about so I let him do as he pleased.
I'l vote for Kim Edward Beazley and Kim Christian Beazley as a compromise then.
That Beazley the son is the "natural" primary meaning of "Kim Beazley" is obvious.

 1998 Federal Election Debate - Kim Beazley & John Howard with Ray Martin
Kim Beazley knows as well as I do that this country desperately needs a new tax system - the present one is broken.

His bile towards Kim Beazley has flowed over the past week but the full extent of his contempt, spanning many years, only emerges from the whole book.
Beazley is stitched up with sins of character ("a dirty dog") and content (he "never staked his career on fighting for something he actually believes in").
In contrast, John Howard and Beazley are both resilient in the face of vicissitudes.

Mr Beazley's backers claim he already has up to 41 votes out of the 92-member Labor caucus, even before the tough business of locking support for a formal challenge.
The Beazley camp, led by MPs from NSW, Queensland and Western Australia, was buoyed by opinion polls yesterday showing voters clearly preferred their candidate over Mr Crean.
But Mr Beazley's supporters are under no illusions about Mr Crean's determination to stay, and plan to use the next three to four weeks to muster enough numbers for a serious challenge.

But Mr Beazley has fought back and closed the gap, thanks in part to a strong showing in a televised debate between the two leaders.
Kim junior, born on 14 December 1948, studied at Oxford University as well as the University of Western Australia.
He is one of only four ministers to have served the whole 13 years of the Hawke and Keating governments and his administration of the Defence Ministry is regarded as having been singularly successful.

 Attachment to Coastwatch or Coast Guard?: Ministerial Paper-Coastal Surveillance and Protection: a “US-Style” Coast ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Kim Beazley’s own study in 1984 stated that if a Coast Guard were created "the Defence Force would require additional resources in order to avoid a degradation of its military effectiveness." That is why he rejected the idea when in government.
When Kim Beazley was last in government, he authored a study that rejected the idea of an American Coast Guard, concluding it would be too expensive and less effective: "I am less convinced that they would lead to a system that would better counter the traffic in narcotics" he concluded.
The Beazley study noted that these estimates did not include infrastructure and support facilities for a civilian organisation, but it noted that these costs were roughly equivalent to the capital investment required, and were additional to it.

However there has been controversy over whether politicians — junior government ministers, parliamentary secretaries, Opposition office holders and front benchers as well as Coalition and Labor backbenchers should be able to accept hospitality and attend as guests of corporations.
John Howard referred to the fact that, on this issue, he and Kim Beazley "seem to have a similar view".
Kim Beazley advised his colleagues to be "careful" about accepting corporate invitations, particularly if travel and accommodation costs were included in the hospitality package.

The latest Newspoll shows the fall in Mr Beazley's standing was not mirrored by his party, with no change in the Coalition's four-point lead over the ALP (45 per cent to 41), which it has maintained since the August 30 independence ballot in East Timor.
Mr Beazley was stranded between his predecessor and Mr Howard last week after Mr Keating accused the Prime Minister of being personally responsible for the deaths or disappearance of 500,000 to 800,000 East Timorese.
There is concern that Mr Beazley did not act quickly enough to repudiate Mr Keating's claims and left himself open to suggestion that he did not support the troops.

'It is incumbent upon Mr Beazley to immediately and clearly state whether it is official Labor policy, as Senator Mackay claims, to prevent Telstra from taking normal business decisions about its asset base.
'If this is a "rock-solid Beazley Labor Government commitment" it would not only be totally unprecedented but would mean that Telstra would be prevented from operating commercially in one of the most competitive sectors in the economy.
'When Mr Beazley was a Labor Minister, Telstra acquired and divested itself of numerous businesses and not once did the Government prevent it from making these normal business decisions.

 CANBERRA OBSERVED: Country voters won't buy rural road scheme - 2 December, 2000
Opposition leader Kim Beazley dismissed the Howard road funding push as a "boondoggle" for the National Party which he explained was a US political term for pork barrelling.
Beazley's definition was in fact slightly askew (according to Webster's Dictionary the word means a wasteful or unnecessary project, often involving graft), but had National Party leader John Anderson and most journalists in the press gallery diving into the dictionaries.
But while Beazley got a chip from Anderson and is perhaps running the risk of turning himself into an eccentric intellectual oddity like British Labour's Michael Foot, the real dangers remains with Howard.

 John Quiggin - News Articles - privatisation0005
In an address to the Sydney Institute, Kim Beazley argued that privatisation of Telstra was undesirable because the loss of Telstra's earnings would exceed the interest savings from using the sale proceeds to repay debt.
For economists at least, the question of whether dividends should be valued differently from retained earnings was settled in 1958 when a classic paper by Modigliani and Miller showed that the value of a company depends only on total earnings and not on the proportion of those earnings paid out in dividends.
He consulted with some junior staff who advised him that the Modigliani-Miller analysis was an 'academic theory with no practical relevance to the real world'.

What we did in my Government with Kim Beazley senior and me was to take over responsibility for university and tertiary education and the party is now benefiting very greatly from that initiative.
