Mr Latham referred to Howard's concern in the 1980s about the number of Asians coming to live in Australia.
Mr Latham says, "In the late 80s in my community, I wasn't walking around saying we've got too many Asian migrants and Australia needs racially discriminatory migration policy," he said.
"So all things are relative and if Mr Howard wants to talk about what I was doing in the late-80s, and having seen the bombardment of those untrue advertisements, I think at one point in the campaign I can make the observation about what he was doing in the late-80s.
"I gotta tell you I'm a lot prouder of my record than I would be of his."
Mr Howard says, "he has achieved a significant rebalancing of Australia's foreign policy, deepening ties with the United States,while consolidating links with Asia."
However the predictions made that the Asian region would not deal with a Howard Government have been "pre-emptively" correct!
Howard cannot be re-elected on Saturday it would be an Australian and International crime!
