in the don watson bio of keating and in the latham diaries he is painted as an old school protectionist and keynsian, perhaps he has learned a few things since then

I read the Latham Diaries. Excellent book really. I have a pretty high opinion of Latham actually.

I'm not sure of Crean's true views. Perhaps he wanted to play the populist card in opposition. Tariffs have always been popular with the electorate.
