PAUL PEARCE: Labor has got to go back to being a labour party, a social democratic party. We, for the last 25 years have been involved in deregulation, we’ve been involved in market-based economics, we should be the party looking after the working class, we should be a party looking after the trade union movement, we should be a party actually supporting public ownership and public regulation.

Former member for Coogee in NSW Parliament. Defeated in 2011 state election.
