Paul Keating is not wrong. 😳👇

We have significant issues here in Australia - many brought about by decades of a Murdoch dominant media landscape - but we’re very fortunate to live here for many of the reasons Keating highlights. He actually said this after Trump’s first election - still stands today.

@rlong62 So proud to have had Paul Keating as our Prime Minister. Australia needs more Paul Keatings. Says it as it is.

Thank you sir. That is our great Prime Minister Paul Keating.🇦🇺🐨🦘

Paul Keating was our greatest Prime Minister.

No, he’s wrong. In fact his argument doesn’t even make any sense. Australia is a huge land mass with a tiny population. We are not powerful. We NEED big friends, and the US is the biggest friend any nation can have. And why would the US ever sacrifice its resources for us if we are not prepared to sacrifice ours for them? That’s the real world, not Keating Land.

@MaryKostakidis Makes you cry.

Paul Keating should run again an Independent He will move the whole house with him and whip the whims on Canberra to bits in 3 days

Good old Paul Keating. He was a great Prime Minister.

Only he and Gough as PM’s acted in Australia’s interests. Murdoch ran campaigns against both. Stupid Australians gave us Fraser & Howard. Fraser was a shocker early. Howard has been a shocker since his entry to politics. All other PM’s cow towed to the US. Pathetic.

Paul Keating was rarely wrong. Too neoliberal for some, as a left politician (deregulated banks, floated the AUD), but always with a focus on bringing those with least up a few pegs through govt intervention.
