Labor loses identity MARTIN Fergusons resignation, announced yesterday by the former resources minister, leaves the Labor Party without an important generational link. The son of a former NSW Labor deputy premier, Ferguson represents a connection to Labors more pragmatic past. His departure underscores the ongoing crisis over Labors identity. The rational centre of the ALP is clearly eroding as the party drifts towards zones more appropriately occupied by the lunatic likes of the Greens. There is no viable future for any party that allows itself to become a minority mouthpiece. Labor needs more of Fergusons calibre. Instead, the losses are commencing even before Septembers election. dailytelegraph.au/news/opinion/extremist-groups-must-be-exposed/story-fni0cwl5-1226653248192
