  • Excerpts from Order in the House, hosted by Maxine McKew, broadcast on ABC TV in 1994. Alexander Downer's leadership is looking shaky and Labor is ahead in the polls...
    Doing Downer too quickly arguably became Keating's undoing.

    As you say, doing Downer too quickly arguably became Keating's undoing. Perhaps looking back at this he might regret promoting the 'Member for Bennelong' as a contender for the leadership...

      Keating always knew Howard was their best leader. Hawke did as well. The problem Keating ran into and didn't see it coming was that Howard by 1995 had the party behind him. Peacock and all his forces with the exception of Moore and Tuckey had all moved on giving Howard free reign of the part. Keating could always taunt Howard. He misread Peacock & co all leaving in the space of 18 months.

    0:47 Here is the *true hero* of the 2007 election, Maxine McHew when she was still working for the ABC. Maxine McHew stood for, and won the Federal seat of Bennelong, unseating *Little Johnny* Howard, who not only lost his seat, he also deservedly lost the Prime Ministership that year, and *GOOD RIDDANCE!* Maxine McHew only served one term, but what she did in defeating Howard will place her forever in the ranks of true heroes. From me, a *heartfelt thank-you* to Maxine McHew for ridding Australia of the *worst-ever Prime Minister* Australia has ever had. Even worse than *Pig-Iron Bob Menzies, the filthy-rotten TRAITOR!*

      Not stolen: recorded from free-to-air non-commercial television, retained for decades, digitised, and credited as such.
      The ones without watermarks have been lifted in their entirety and re-uploaded, verbatim, on other channels with no attribution or context.
      By all means feel free to copy and use excerpts from my videos. They appear in some great compilations made by others. The watermark isn't that obtrusive, is it?
