THE national secretary of the Australian Workers Union, Paul Howes, has declared it time Labor and Mark Latham bury the hatchet and the former opposition leader be welcomed back to the fold.
Addressing the National Press Club yesterday, Mr Howes said the olive branch should also be extended to others shunned by the party, including Kevin Rudd, the ousting of whom Mr Howes backed.
He said the Labor movement had to cease its endless self-criticism and start fighting back.
