"Goodness of heart and honesty is something that is a core requirement on a good country. Truth is a necessary ingredient in a society with its head in the air." -Paul Keating
Paul Keating was the Prime Minister that made me proudest to be Australian in my lifetime. His tenure was much to short. Brains, balls and couldn't be bought. Ahh those were the days.
BXBZ88 Amazingly accurate and more amazingly prophetic. Listen to Keating and he hits the bulls eye most of the time. He is an intellectual giant compared to the pugilist numb skull Abbott.
Admire Paul Keating PM insofar as he is the most knowledgeable, insightful politician this country has witnessed in a very long time. His comments on Phoney Abbott are spot-on.
Gotta love this guy, everything he says is spot on, 'You wouldn't trust this mob with a jam jar full of 5 cent bits'. If only the labor party had more politicians of his caliber and backbone.
3:57 "Goodness of heart, and honesty... truth..." "core requirements, and necessary..." This clip should be required viewing for ALL (regardless of party) sitting MPs, for those comments alone. This man is the last decent Prime Minister this country has had.
Keatings words are pretty close to the mark...how the hell did we get the 'mad monk' as PM.....he has got to go....we are the laughing stock of the world!
I regret to say that Australian politics is the laughing stock of the Western world, the remainder of the world doesn't give a hang. Abbott has to go, and I get the feeling that he is being cooked slowly by those that can get rid of him. Keating was by far the best treasurer Australia ever had.
are you serious, did you live through the Keating years? i am only 33 but i can remember the grim feeling, businesses closing and friends suiciding because of the state of the economy and high interest rates. I wouldn't take anything this nut said serious.
John Arena Can't believe its happened: its like a bad dream I can't wake up from. At least bring back a Malcolm: Fraser or Turnbull, I don't care. But this? A living nightmare.
This was an inspirational interview with a truly visionary ex Prime Minister in Paul Keating. His analysis of Abbott is so correct, that it truly astounds me why the Australian voting public would EVER consider putting him in the lodge! His far right lunacy, coupled with his absolute lack of ONE policy measure that would benefit this nation (not that we have heard one bit of future policy from him at all really), truly frightens me. His only doctrine is 'turn back the boats'...disgraceful!!
"Is that where we'd be? really?!" That's where we are now and it's depressing and embarrassing. "Truly an intellectual nobody" you got that right Mr Keating.
and a recipient of an award as the worlds best treasurer in a period of great strain on all countries financial systems. Keating is a true genius and would still deserve the title even if he was on the Liberal team.
Serious question: has Keating ever been wrong about anything, ever? Once again, he hit the nail on the head. Was easy enough to lament the idiot Abbott once he was in power, but Keating saw it coming.
Watch Keating's video's from 25+ years ago and it really highlights just how in touch he was about conservative politicians. Everything he told us has come true.
Paul Keating has always been the most thoughtful, courageous and intelligent politician on the stage. It was a sad day for Australia when he wasn't re-elected. If only there were more like him, our political landscape wouldn't be such an embarrassing farce.
I agree with you on all points. Keating is an inspiration to this nation; not only for his masterful reforms and achievements in office, but also for his occasional but extremely valuable contributions every so often in the media. Does anyone at present, in either party, have the ability to match it with Keating's intellect and economic foresight...especially the economic reforms that developed us into a nation that allowed Howard to squander the good times that Keating laid the platform for?
Never mind Australia. Progress always wins in the end, eventually. We are just taking one step back now. Lets hope for two steps forward at the next election.
I've just revisited this vid clip and it makes even more sense now than three years ago. Abbott is a goose but it is quite obvious now that he is Murdoch's goose. Morrison is the accidental PM - he wasn't part of the script and Dutton and Co. fucked up their numbers and it's quite obvious that the Morrison vote was an "anyone but Dutton" vote. Now we have a happy clapper, speaking in tongues PM who is a Christian in claim but not in nature.
We are so lucky that we have this fantastic World Best Treasure who knows everything, have a (negative) opinion on everyone else and give unwanted advise on all topics. Mr Paul Nostradamus Keating who can predict the future but keep forgetting the past. An egomaniac lunatic.
Tony Abbott is the best thing to Happen to Australian politics since the enfranchisement of women. A common man with common sense and just what everyone needs right now. Go Abbott Go!
He always could spot a dud, he can read people, know what they are about to say and do. A rare talent. Turnbul ...OK he says, Abbott big alarm bells. Turns out, again...he called it correct. Keating is not perfect but his call (4:10) on Abbott and "Historical Lies" shows him to have called his tactics...even before Abbott did them. If he speaks... even if you "don't like him cause he is ALP" listen, the experience of this person, his advice should not be taken lightly. Look at the comments Howard made, would he have opened a Royal Commission on Unions? NO, he said no...that is how bad Abbott is. "No policy ambition" that... as it turns out is the number one problem with Abbott, no spark, trivial hate and fear is all this thug knows.
In response to the Mabo question, "and and .....goodness of heart is something that.. and honesty is something that is a core requirement on a good country, you know, truth is a necessary ingredient in a society with it's head in the air." How did we slide so far into decadence with our governments? This country needs to clean up politics. Stop the private funding of political parties. Create a federal ICAC with real teeth and clean out all of the corruption and criminals in politics.Politicians and their parties need to be held accountable for the promises they make. If you lie to the Australian public there should be minimum mandatory prison sentences and/or community service and public shaming. Stripping of elected power and new elections called. Same as drug cheats in sport. Strip them of their titles. We need a commission dealing with the dopes in politics like there is for the doping in sport. Come on Australia, do we want to decay into more corruption like 3rd world countries or do we want a fairer society? Start demanding from and pushing your representatives for changes that will bring about a fairer society. If enough of us are united and share the same voice it can and will happen.
Keating is too good to go back into that sad mess of a kindergarten where the decisions that affect Australia are made. It pains me to say that because Keating was inspired, inspiring, rational and unlike the pricks in parliament today who just think they're funny; Keating was actually funny, He's the leader we need but not the one we deserve.
where does he get his idioms from? "jam jar full of five-cent bits"? is he one of those rare talents that can make this stuff up on the fly. or are they contrived performances?
Paul I imagine Keating would be equally savage against Scott Morrison being the new PM . Remember that Morrison as Treasurer fought for the $80 BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in tax cuts to the corporations that already pay little or no tax relative to their profits , at his last budget ( confirming Morrison's faith in the INTERNATIONALLY discredited economic ideology of trickle-down economics ) . Morrison also voted against the Royal Commission into the banks 26 times in Federal Parliament ; and at his first statement as PM , Morrison had the audacity to say that the Liberal Party is with we , the people !! How deluded these Liberal Party parasites actually are !!?? Keating has already said this INEPT COALITION GOVERNMENT is already dead , has no new ideas & vision to take Australia forward , & is seriously lacking the talent to turn their sinking ship around .
Yes,you're absolutely right. I can understand people being angry at Labor which,to some extent,is justified. They want to punish the ALP and,in particular,Julia Gillard. However,when doing so would result in Tony Abbott becoming P.M,the consequences will be dire for the entire nation. Look what's happening in Qld. Most who voted LNP are now deeply regretting it. To elect Abbott would punish the incumbent Govt,but it would punish those who rely upon & espouse the ALPs principles even more.
"You've got Bjelke Peterson Jnr running around... what's his name?"
GOLD!
Abbott: "No policy ambition" - Sums it up perfectly
GO PAUL KEATING ON THIS ONE. He is hitting the nail right on the head. "God help us" indeed.
"Goodness of heart and honesty is something that is a core requirement on a good country. Truth is a necessary ingredient in a society with its head in the air." -Paul Keating
"the poor man's John Howard" got me laughing out loud so hard!
Paul Keating should run again I would vote for him. Australia needs you Paul.
+wayneo1269 Bring him back at the eleventh hour, and he'll crush LNP and the rest of the resident butters.

Well he didnt help us. Does that mean there is no god?
@@maccaholmes4854you are
Paul Keating was the Prime Minister that made me proudest to be Australian in my lifetime. His tenure was much to short.
Brains, balls and couldn't be bought. Ahh those were the days.
Words spoken years ago YET so profoundly resonating at this time.
BXBZ88 Amazingly accurate and more amazingly prophetic. Listen to Keating and he hits the bulls eye most of the time. He is an intellectual giant compared to the pugilist numb skull Abbott.
fuck he's good
Brilliant mind. So prophetic. God help us all
"If Tony Abbott ends up the Prime Minister of Australia, you've gotta say: God Help Us."
God damn it, why can't we have someone as forthright and articulate as Keating back?
Admire Paul Keating PM insofar as he is the most knowledgeable, insightful politician this country has witnessed in a very long time. His comments on Phoney Abbott are spot-on.
God help us all.
You've got to admire Paul Keating for his honesty. Most of the time his comments are spot-on.
He was clearly prophetic before Abbott even took office...
Keating said it 'An intellectual nobody"
Gotta love this guy, everything he says is spot on, 'You wouldn't trust this mob with a jam jar full of 5 cent bits'. If only the labor party had more politicians of his caliber and backbone.
"At least Howard was a militant, agressive conservative driving in reverse through the rear-view mirror. Do we want the poor man's Howard?"
The "resident nutter" , priceless !! God I miss him !
God help us.
Hear, hear, Paul!
3:57 "Goodness of heart, and honesty... truth..." "core requirements, and necessary..."

Keating is a smart man, At the time his words appeared pretty harsh. But a few years on - He couldn't be more right about Abbola.
are you serious, did you live through the Keating years? i am only 33 but i can remember the grim feeling, businesses closing and friends suiciding because of the state of the economy and high interest rates. I wouldn't take anything this nut said serious.

"Is that where we'd be? really?!" That's where we are now and it's depressing and embarrassing. "Truly an intellectual nobody" you got that right Mr Keating.
Yep. Paul Keating tells it like it is.
Here we are in 2021, and who would have thought anyone would be so much worse than Abbott? *cough* Morrison
4.33 till the end is the best end comment I've ever heard. Bring him back.
and a recipient of an award as the worlds best treasurer in a period of great strain on all countries financial systems. Keating is a true genius and would still deserve the title even if he was on the Liberal team.
A very wise man!
"The poor man's Howard" LMAO
"You wouldn't trust this lot with a jam jar full of 5 cent bits". classic

That was frickin amazing. They don't make pollies like this anymore :')

GOD HELP US ALL!
i loved that one too lol he has the most accurately hilarious turn of phrase
Jeez, he got *that* assessment right.
haha im a keating fanatic. loved his insults. those were the fun days. look on the net for all his insults in text form.
Keating is such a boss!
Nice one, Mr. Keating. And you're still the only PM to make it to the cover of Rolling Stone magazine back in '93!
The Hon. Prime Minister Paul Keating Outstanding. Respect to Keating Intellectual giant.
Keating so concisely labeled Abbott as "a young fogey"
Love your work Paul!
I love you PAUL!!
"pre-Copernican obscurantism" - PK had the best zingers in the business!
he was right back in 2010
I loved your musical!
A giant of a man! "the poor man's Howard"... GOLD!
Lets not forget who set the fiscal ground for Rudd to save us from a recession. It was Keating. He was our Treasurer for many years.
And how very, very right you were Mr Keating.....
well said!!
Still eloquent and right on the money.
Never mind Australia. Progress always wins in the end, eventually. We are just taking one step back now. Lets hope for two steps forward at the next election.
That was fucking great, made my morning.
Brilliant
paul keating is right !!! god help us!!!

Go Katie Johnson!
Great Barrier Reef - trashed
Tasmanian forests - trashed
Holden - trashed
Toyota - trashed
Australia's international reputation - trashed
We are so lucky that we have this fantastic World Best Treasure who knows everything, have a (negative) opinion on everyone else and give unwanted advise on all topics. Mr Paul Nostradamus Keating who can predict the future but keep forgetting the past. An egomaniac lunatic.
I dunno i think he was spot on, almost prophetic. God help us, this mob is trashing the place.
1:54 *gasp* He told the future!
Tony Abbot is the Prime Minister, and God should help us all D=
PAUL IS THE BEST. HE SPEAKS IT AS IT IS.
Tony Abbott is the best thing to Happen to Australian politics since the enfranchisement of women. A common man with common sense and just what everyone needs right now. Go Abbott Go!
Malcolm gave up that position so he could take the PM position, basically selling his principles down the river for a new title.
He always could spot a dud, he can read people, know what they are about to say and do. A rare talent.
Turnbul ...OK he says, Abbott big alarm bells.
Turns out, again...he called it correct. Keating is not perfect but his call (4:10) on Abbott and "Historical Lies" shows him to have called his tactics...even before Abbott did them.
If he speaks... even if you "don't like him cause he is ALP" listen, the experience of this person, his advice should not be taken lightly.
Look at the comments Howard made, would he have opened a Royal Commission on Unions? NO, he said no...that is how bad Abbott is.
"No policy ambition" that... as it turns out is the number one problem with Abbott, no spark, trivial hate and fear is all this thug knows.
Did I just hear paul keating spruiking "goodness of heart and honesty"? lol whoops
In response to the Mabo question, "and and .....goodness of heart is something that.. and honesty is something that is a core requirement on a good country, you know, truth is a necessary ingredient in a society with it's head in the air."

"Do we want the poor man's Howard?"
FUCKIN' BOSS.
Yes Mr Keating..............how about another 'recession we had to have"
Miss him
God love Paul Keating!
I mostly want to bring this comment chain to the top. It's gold.
Keating is too good to go back into that sad mess of a kindergarten where the decisions that affect Australia are made.
It pains me to say that because Keating was inspired, inspiring, rational and unlike the pricks in parliament today who just think they're funny; Keating was actually funny, He's the leader we need but not the one we deserve.
Here we are in 2018 - and Abbott is still meddling and stuffing up everything he touches. God.
Got the Midas Touch. Everything he touched turned to shit.
Step aside everyone, Paul Keating laying it down.
I see he's a bit on the nose but we need this kind of (reasonable) conviction in parliament again.
Intellectual nobody, priceless.
God I miss Paul Keating for the Australian Political landscape
Very witty !!!
I agree to bringing Rudd back but I do really miss Paul Keating.
where does he get his idioms from? "jam jar full of five-cent bits"? is he one of those rare talents that can make this stuff up on the fly. or are they contrived performances?
"resident nutter" - LMAO!
+EmmCee21112 Farrrrk man.
I'll bring the marshmallows you bring the wine okay? :-)
I could never stand Mr Arrogant-Self-Important-Sun-Shines-Outta-My-Bumhole-Keating. But his summation of Howard at the end of this is genius!
Always good to listen to Keating! Howard couldn't hold candle to Keating and Abbot he would lost in a debate with Keating!
I wonder what Paul Keating says about Scott Morrison.
Paul I imagine Keating would be equally savage against Scott Morrison being the new PM . Remember that Morrison as Treasurer fought for the $80 BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in tax cuts to the corporations that already pay little or no tax relative to their profits , at his last budget ( confirming Morrison's faith in the INTERNATIONALLY discredited economic ideology of trickle-down economics ) .

Keating outstanding.
haha, love Keating!
Brilliant as always and pertinent too given the imminent election.
"dirt under his toenail" thank you, I laughed out loud. Never voted lib, never will.
What did Keating study at Oxford?
🎵is that all there is🎵
Truth a core requirement in any political party....sadly lacking in what we have at the moment,Tony Abbott is the great Australian mistake!
@Odette321 I don't know. What is the purpose of you watching it then?
thats well said
Is he talking about the same Rudd that sent us broke?
God Bless Paul :)
