Mr Crean's press release of 26 November 1998 is substantially the same as his release of 6 November 1998 (which was unreported). My release of 6 November 1998 answered it. His claims are, as usual, quite wrong.
One new item in Mr Crean's release is worth a chuckle however: his apparent concern that there could be an enormous hole in the tax package's revenue base.
And all this from a man who wants to abolish the revenue base altogether!
