The problem with Latham was that he internalised it - took it personally.
I'm not sure losing the Senate set up the ALP for victory but the author is right about the party understanding the need to adopt a conservative economic approach. Unfortunately being an economic conservative is exactly what we've had for 20 years.
I personally don't think either the ALP or Libs have had a bold 'economic moment' since 1983.
