		Wayne Swan: Well, that seems like an admission to me, Chris, because when we asked for a guarantee that there was no claw-back, it could not be given by department officials in senate estimates last week.
		Wayne Swan: There is no doubt there's an increase in payments before the election, but what we have discovered through this complicated clause and because of the failure of the government to get rid of the debt trap in the system, many families are going to have those payments ripped away after the election.
		Wayne Swan: I don't know that he's been asked, but what I do know is that if he was willing to serve and he was a member of the party and he was selected, he'd be a terrific addition to Mark Latham's team.

	The World Today - Australia a divided nation: Wayne Swan
		WAYNE SWAN: It just occurred to me that it is becoming harder and harder for the voice of people who are living in humble circumstances and on modest incomes to be heard in our national political and policy debates.
		Wayne Swan says he would have liked to have offered 20, instead Labor suggested 12, but that campaign has proven futile, and the Government's tax cuts will come into effect at the beginning of next month.
		WAYNE SWAN: I'm very confident that people are not dancing in the street as we sit here today, saying John Howard is going to give me $6.

	Swan's missing middle misses analysis - On Line Opinion - 25/2/2002
		Wayne Swan presents an analysis of Labor’s 2001 federal election defeat in terms of Theda Skocpol’s ‘missing middle’ thesis of the decline of America politics.
		Swan’s line of reasoning is that while Labor successfully garnered the support of the ‘battlers’ on issues like the GST (only to have some peel away in light of the ‘Tampa episode’), Labor failed to "convince enough of what I would term the outer suburban middle class".
		Wayne Swan has co-opted an academic framework developed in the context of American politics to explain political behaviour in Australia and to define the challenges for the ALP.

	Labor eHerald: BOOK: Review: Wayne Swan's Postcodes
		Wayne Swan has written a page-turner, which is no small achievement when the topic is social inequities and the content is grounded in statistics.
		Swan is no armchair analyst: he has been to many of the postcodes he mentions, including the 'nappy valley' suburbs such as Melbourne's Fountain Gate which has grown so rapidly that without intelligent planning and investment in resources, there is the potential for a cycle of social decline within a decade.
		Wayne Swan has managed to state clearly and concisely that wage earners, marginalised, casualised, feminised, globalised and contractualised as they are, still remain central to Labor thinking.

	Nightwing's Superman Page: Favorite Adventures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Swan demonstrates his mastery of facial expressions with an amused Clark and Jimmy and a miffed Lois Lane.
		Swan's accent on emotion suited the Silver Age Superman, as the books took on operatic overtones of tragedy and pathos and indulged in fond sentiment for an ever-expanding supporting cast of friends and foes.
		Swan's long tenure as chief artist had fostered a comfortable sense of continuity in the Superman titles, but in the interim, other comic book characters had stolen the limelight through policies of innovation and change.

	Bulletin - Wayne Swan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Wayne Swan’s reputation is that of a punchy political warrior.
		Whether he likes it or not, Swan is seen as one of the architects of “holdback” – the approach that dictates that you commit to as little as possible until the last conceivable moment.
		Swan continues to defend this while at the same time conceding the risk – that policy detail could be buried under the weight of international news.

		WAYNE SWAN: Well there’s plenty of money for the Future Fund and the Government has always said that it would send to the Future Fund the proceeds of asset sales, but by parking the shares there and getting the Future Fund to underwrite the sale of Telstra, they’ve fatally compromised its independence.
		WAYNE SWAN: Yes, because this Government will in effect be directing the investment strategy of the Future Fund by parking those shares in that fund.
		WAYNE SWAN: No, it most certainly wouldn’t because we will put forward serious proposals for the future of Telstra, serious proposals to deal with the service delivery problems and serious proposals to put competition into the market.

	Why Wayne Swan will not realise the ALP leadership - theage.com.au
		Wayne Swan is (at least among the Queensland contingent) next in line for the federal Labor leadership.
		Swan has been a loyal lieutenant to Bill Ludwig and the AWU faction throughout his career.
		Swan has recently made the radical suggestion that Labor move to American-style primaries where almost anyone on the roll could cast a vote, weighted by affiliations, in preselections.

	Connecting With The Missing Middle: A Summary of Wayne Swan's ALP and Parliamentary Reform Proposals [February 1, 2002]
		Swan argues that the ALP lost the election because it was caught in a "classic wedge" between the so-called "battlers" and the suburban middle-class.
		Swan argues that the ALP has to adopt new policies for the future, policies that build upon the reforms he proposes to the parliament and the party.
		Swan argues that the ALP has to be committed to economic policies that deliver low interest rates, since these are crucial to the living standards and the purchasing power of the voters the party has lost.

		SWAN: I think he has a huge problem with the elderly and I think many of his MPs will be burnt alive at the next election on this issue alone.
		SWAN: Well, we have made it very clear that the weak and the vulnerable and the elderly will have a very high priority when it comes to GST rollback, we've made the very clear.
		SWAN: Well, the problem that we have is that for the elderly the GST is double taxation, so they've been caught in a double whammy, if you like.

		Wayne plays a career gunfighter in the autumn of his life, trying to hang up his pistols after he discovers he's dying of cancer.
		But it is the dynamic between Wayne and Howard that drives the film, as the gunman tries to explain to the hero worshipping boy that killing men is not a heroic enterprise.
		Wayne is a hero to Howard because of his gunplay, but Wayne tries to downplay that role and educate the boy to better things in life.

	Actor Profile: John Wayne/Brian W. Fairbanks-Writer
		Wayne closed out his first decade of superstardom with Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo, his answer to High Noon, a film he considered leftist for its portrayal of a sheriff who throws away his badge rather than continue to serve a town that abandoned him in his hour of need.
		For some unexplained reason, Wayne seized upon the notion that the defeat of Davy Crockett and company at the Alamo was an inspiring patriotic story and, as early as 1948, he was hoping to commit his dream of The Alamo to film.
		Wayne’s colleagues in Hollywood also felt the time was right to acknowledge the living legend in their midst and awarded him the Oscar as best actor for True Grit.

		On Tuesday, November 29, Wayne Swan, the Shadow Treasurer asked of Costello in the first question of Question Time about an apparent statement that Costello made to Gerard, namely, "I know there's an issue with the Tax Office but I don't have a problem with you on the board".
		Swan moved a censure motion to "provide this House with a full and proper explanation of...his communications with Mr Robert Gerard...and his knowledge of Mr Robert Gerard's dispute with the Australian Taxation Office...", which failed in the Government's favour with votes 83 to 59 in division.
		Swan revealed in a question to the Treasurer that Gerard Corporation had "acquired an investment company in the tax haven of the British Virgin Islands eight months after the Treasurer recommended his appointment to the Reserve Bank board".

	Minister for Family and Community Services \| Mr Swan's Negativity Does Nothing To Help Australian Families
		It is disappointing to see that Wayne Swan, after having seven years to work on policy still chooses to adopt the old, flawed, complex and unfair family assistance system.
		Mr Swan knows that funding for FTB is uncapped and that under the Coalition Government every Australian entitled to an FTB payment receives their correct entitlement.
		Mr Swan can choose to misrepresent policy but the fact remains that families are getting an average of $6,000 per year under the Howard Government- almost $2 billion more each year.

	labour market reform & productivity
		Wayne Swan, Federal Shadow Treasurer, argues that “There are moral reasons why the Howard Government’s destructive workplace agenda is wrong and unfair but, just as importantly, there are hardheaded economic reasons why Labor opposes the reforms”.
		Swan chose not to disclose the reasons why the Government’s labour market reform policy is “destructive.
		Swan pointed out that when we compare the productivity performance between Australia and New from 1991 — 1996 we find that after New Zealand’s “dramatic shift from collective bargaining to individual contracts with the passage of the Employment Contracts Act 1991” the country’s productivity fell significantly, lagging considerably behind Australia’s.
