JockinTas Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Keating was a good Prime Minister but I funnily enough I didn't like him very much as a person - not that that matters much :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 And he has shown how anybody in a country like Australia can make it big - raised in Bankstown, living in socialist luxury in the Eastern Subs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 I love the way he talks to these scared, angry little white people who are SO threatened by the Mabo decision!!!

Parley Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Howard of course gave him a good thrashing in '96. I did quite like him, but generally he was hated by the public. He only won his first election with a gst scare campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If only we had a Liberal Party and not some outfit that hijacked and thrashed the name. Allowing for the fact that the Australia Liberal party is not the same as the British version, I shall take some licence and assume you yearn for a Thatcherite Australian Conservative party (instead of the present 'Wets!?) Unless you are an even more fervent admirer of Jeremy Thorpe and Cyril Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Keating was an eloquent bully of course. Yes it was great theatre if you weren't the one being bullied. Don't forget he was the man who gave us 18% home loan interest rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 5 minutes of Paul Keating kicking John Howard's arse.... The contrast in body language is amazing, the libs look utterly deflated, whereas Keating is totally pumped! He must have enjoyed his time as PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 So bullying by a Labor politican is to be savoured, but by a Liberal is to be condemned. This is why you get accused of being a hypocrite Harpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
