That represented the first rung on the ladder of opportunity, he said.
He said the second and third rungs were the need to improve schooling and create extra places in tertiary education without saddling the young with debt.
Another rung in the opposition leader's "ladder of opportunity" was Medicare, which Mr Latham said would have lost its way if it was not universal.
Mr Latham said further rungs in the ladder were improving housing and childcare, creating recreation centres, public libraries and a "decent industrial relations system".
"We have a problem in this country of too many Australians without a foot on the ladder, let alone climbing the rungs".
Pity I couldn't find a good picture of a certain brand of ladder.
