Paul Keating is 100% right on this issue. AUKUS is a terrible idea; we just become a vassal of the USA. The USA as a global force is dying, and Australia should not let its self be dragged down with it.

Regardless of the wisdom of nuclear submarine deal undertaken by the present Government, when it comes to being “the worst deal in history” Paul Keating needs to look no further that his own incompetence when he was in office. The ‘failed rock band manager’, seeking to call himself “The world’s greatest treasurer” needed to balance the budget. He did this by selling off the Commonwealth Bank, which robbed future governments of any control over interest rates, and thereby inflation. Initiating the boom-bust that we are enjoying today? He then went on in 1985, to being instrumental in the ‘Negative Gearing’ legislation, with the naive belief that it would make more housing available, and boost the economy? In fact, by the figures of later reports, it had the very opposite effect, not only did it encourage states to end involvement in social housing, but 90 percent of the speculation investment went into established homes, and not new constructions. The result was what we have today, with an estimated 150 thousand homeless, and soon to be rising as more homes are foreclosed on, and people are forced onto the streets? When Paul Keating, now advisor to the CPC, China, talks about the “worst deal in history” he should consider the thousands of families and children his incompetence forced into poverty and ruined lives.? And the stresses that broke so many families apart. Perhaps he should have an Oscar for the biggest failure in history?
The absolute mediocrity of those journalists with their high pitch voices, completely wrapped up in theirs neoliberal ideologie consistently ignoring the reality and nuance of international relations and diplomacy. Those idiots are justifying, to a naive Australian public, the destruction of 40 years of well crafted international policy that made us a very wealthy nation, to the sole benefit of American worse administration and some very corrupt people from the Capitol hill.
It's come to the point where if a person criticises AUKUS, they are immediately labeled as traitors or CCP spies. Hats off to Paul for saying what everyone else is too scared to say and pointing out the truth that the pollies and spy agencies don't want you to hear.
same here in Scandinavia , if you are not coming out clear in full support of more weapons for Ukraine you are a supporter of R and president P. It sticks ! this conflict is bankrupting europe , "Ukraine fighting for our freedom" please ..if you want to fight then fight and pay for it yourself .

Absolutely brilliant. The Australian media is a supine disgrace. The xenophobia and arrogance of Matthew Knott was particularly shocking. Paul Keating provided a wise and coherent presentation and absolutely destroyed the media lackeys. Can we please have a real PM to lead Australia.
He can say all this because he's not PM anymore. If he were still PM he'd have made the same deal as albanese. Australia does not have independent foreign policy. If Australia tried to differ from American policy that government would likely be overthrown.
@@nicholascharles9625 So governments should simply follow the yanks at the expense of Australia, just so they can save their own arse. That is piss weak and I can’t believe someone would even write a pathetic comment like that. Albo’s only job is to do what is best for Australia and sell it to the public, and if the public doesn’t buy it then that means he isn’t up to the task and should let someone else have a crack.
This former Australian PM is truly up-to-date and balanced in presenting the facts unlike these arrogant, ignorant novice journalists who were put to shame by their sheer ignorance of geopolitics.

'Other people call it incompetence' 'We're in deep doo doos' 'Bolshevics' 'Little boats in the bath' Paul Keating is not only sharp, his sense of humour makes him a pleasure to listen to.
I can remember him in parliament he would get up as prime minister and run rings around the opposition with his intellect and quit witt No one today has any charisma they just push the policy line
@@fredfungalspore Keating is still the only sane voice on many issues, especially foreign policy. I watched a Press Club speech by Albanese yesterday, he knew his stuff and spoke on a range of topics, but I got the feeling he was speaking TO the audience, rather than engaging them. Facts and figures are all very well, but Albo is not possessed of great humour or charisma, and watching the vhole speech was a bit of an effort.
@@fredfungalspore I remember when he lied about the military support he was providing to Suharto to commit genocide in East Timor. You were proud of him then weren’t you, what a great day in Australian history.
Wow, this must be the best interview I've ever seen in my entire life. I am not Australian or Chinese (I'm from Spain) but this gentleman can use his brain and beat all this incompetent journalists. It was satisfying to watch! The EU has long lost his sovereignty. I hope the Australians don't become another puppy like us...
...though Varoufakis certainly helped bring a huge amount of attention to what was actually going on, helped people realise they'd been sold out, and he mobilised a new generation of economically savvy lefties across the EU. And it began with a young Greek economics lecturer at Sydney University watching Keating regularly humiliate the Libs and their servants in the media.
No he don't he was the worst PM in Australia history who even made the worst recession ever in Australia history when he was PM back in late 80s early 90s.

From a Chinese from mainland China, we dont think Australia as our enemy but a good friend and a work partner, if Australian and NZ didnt know the U.S. government spend over $300 million each year in a Anti-China programs around the world, and why, would we invade Australia if we can buy your products and resources, i hope we can have peace with Australia and NZ. Edit: 谢谢 Paul Keating.
From an australian in China at the moment working here in China teaching the VCE here so students can visit and study in Australia I could not agree more with your comment.
The vast majority of Australian people think of Chinese people the same way too. We agree with everything Keating says. Please ignore our politicians and media - they are stupid and easily manipulated by anti-China think tanks, they do not represent us.
As an Aussie I'm beyond ashamed of the way we are being used by the US. Sadly I'm old enough to remember the *Indonesia is going to invade us propaganda, then it was the Japanese are going to buy Australia and take over propaganda, now it's China's turn with the same old lies being fed to us* It's horrible they have spent a 3rd of our GDP to please Washington and they are not only in needed by Australia, but it's pushing our debt levels to extremes (and magically helping the US because we will be buying US treasury bonds to cover this debt of course). 😡 So mad at our country for letting us get into this position.
As a political refugee from behind the iron curtain 35 years ago I hated everything associated with the left. Hated the USSR/Russia, China and the rest. Yet first time in my life I voted for a leftist Mr Keating. Hear him again I'm very impressed how sharp and real he is. The world has changed. My illusion of the western dream has crumbled. Freedom is gone. We are bombarded with lies from our governments, I have witnessed the brutality against our citizens during c..I'd, we supported unjust wars and the list goes on. Now this Ukraine warmongering and demonisation of modern China, sticking with aggressive America which causes death and destruction everywhere while China is building and producing things beneficial for all and is not interested in any war. It's time to realise the US is a Titanic. Get off that death trap and get friends with China and prosper our region where we are. China is the future.
Sadly one has lead to the other, unless Labor walk on eggshells and play it safe we'll have another 10 years of going backwards at sprint rather than step by step.

Paul Keating is happy to criticise the British, US and Australian governments and it's leaders but will not utter a word of criticism towards the Chinese government or its leader Xi Jinping.
Coward like Keating could hardly be called a man or smart - he does have a lot of blood on his hands and shills for his master Xinnie the Pooh - so I can see why you’re so easily impressed 😂
This was a fantastic interview! The world needs more people like Mr. Keating. We can't go through another Iraq just 'because they say so'. There needs to be an open and frank discussion about US hegemonic intentions, NATO, AUKUS, the China 'threat'! If even, a country like India which has fought a war with China in 1962 and shares a hard border refuses to be drawn into US bellicosity then Australia should certainly rethink it's priorities! The US political elite are unhinged right now....As the war hawk Henry Kissinger someone familiar with US real politik rightly said, "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous but to be a friend is fatal".
Keatings equivalent would go missing if this was tried on the leader of China, lets keep it real. The current power balance is preferential to our way of life.
This guy is bloody brilliant! Such a terrible shame we've lost politicians like this. I hope he's able to ignite some serious debate on this issue before it's too late....if it's not already.
Bloody shame - Australia could be involved in more arms deals and covering up genocides like Keating did when he was PM back in the late 1990’s with East Timor.

Simple - IF you're not corrupt, you do not fit in the government 😂 unlike china, since Xi became president, in 2013, he started a bureau just to clean up corruption - that's why most of the western leaders esp. the US, hate him.
It's sad to say but if you look at the current crop of Anglosphere leaders, Biden, Sunak, Trudeau, Albanese, Simpkins, they all seem pretty ordinary. Politics has become far more a career than a vocation (vocation comes from the Latin word for "calling"). Also, look at the response to this. Keating is talking geopolitics, his detractors' responses are "he's sexist" or whatever. There's a sort of a neutering of everyone in the world at the moment.

Australia, the UK, USA, etc. are all in a poor state when a former Australian PM from almost 30 years ago outshines the current generation of leaders (and journalists) so thoroughly.
China has an anti-foreign "Negative List of Market Access Restricted: Sector-wise items" protectionist policy. CCP is a hypocrite when it has higher protectionist policies while complaining about AU's reciprocal policies.
Paul Keating is an irrelevant shithouse ex-PM who should butt out of the political scene. In the 80's he had the nickname of "The undertaker" well deserved because he just about gave the economy its own funeral. And when anyone dare speak up against him, how did he respond...? "Go get a job!" When unemployment was at the highest it had been since the depression of the 1920-30s of 11%.
I fear many in the audience would brush him off, probably condemning him as an old man with outdated views. But Mr Keating is 100% right, why would China invade Australia??? If China wants to invade Australia, they can do so with ease, So what is China waiting for? All these young so called journalists are so arrogant. How come they are so brainwashed, they do not research deeper ??
Keating and his fellow thinkers should study The art of war by Sun Tsu. This is the play book actively being followed by the CCP since Deng Xiaoping. THINK ABOUT IT.
Always fun (and interesting) to listen to P Keating. No politician dares to take down journalists for asking stupid questions. Australian journalists should be grateful there is someone who is willing to expose their parochialism. Hope the National Press Club invites Keating to speak at least once a year. 👍😀

It’s just so unfortunate that all across Australia, there are so few clear heads as Prime Minister Paul Keating! And I was wondering how many Australian people have access to this interview! The country is heading in a WRONG direction!
Despite his age and long years away from prime ministership, Keating is still fully up todate with current domestic affairs and geopolitics. He shows great depth and clear vision on all these. An amazing person and I have never been disappointed by his speeches.
China wanted to break away from rely on US articulture crops, one country suit to their needs was Australia. But US won't let it happen, therefore they burn down Australia 2018-2019 Fire, and forced China continue buying their crops for 5 more years!

If only Australian politicians of today had half the stout as Mr Paul Keating we would be in such a better place thankyou sir for speaking some well needed truths 🙏
Paul Keating is turning out to be the only sane person in Australian political circle. Every politician wants Australia to be US' 51st state. Australia is not really an independent country at the moment. The US is sinking, their banks are all collapsing. Australia's biggest economic partner is China. The reason why Australia is unaffected by 2008 recession and not experiencing what Europe and UK are experiencing right now, is because the money are flowing from China, Indonesia and India. Yet the Australian politicians can't see this; they rather partner with the UK in whose economy is worse than Russia. And US which had reached the debt ceilings. Unbelievable.
Sir, government hates truth. You are 100% Wright. Envious of success and want to destroy China. It’s wickedness by Western Europeans oppressors. Go and work hard for yourself Your wealth came from the destruction of other people and robbing their resources.
Australia is very blessed to have such an excellent senior politician. I am so pleased he has given the journalists a good scolding.

Brilliant as always. Paul, you are a powerhouse of knowledge, reason and logic and you don't dilly-dallly around by putting people in their place. We sorely miss you on today's political scenery. Do me a favour and make a few clones of yourself so that we can bust this current left wing ideologs out of existence.
Honest appraisal of the Australian-China-US realtionship. Brilliant thinking from a brutally honest Australian. Salute Mr. Keating and Laura is great host ! Thanks very much.
@@KlausBahnhof The questions highlighted aspects of Keating's speech that were either confused or hypocritical. Keating dealt with them by attacking the questioner or avoiding the question. "Boots on our beaches" is most definitely *not* the only way China threatens us, and if he thinks 45 subs is better than 8, he clearly admits there is a threat that can be dealt with by subs.
@X Crockery He understands that, strategically speaking, 45 Collins subs are better than 8 nuclear subs. That doesn't mean he believes there is an imminent threat, as he explained that it is prudent to have an effective defence as a basic rule. Aside from a hypothetical Chinese invasion on Australian soil (which is so unlikely as to be laughable), what are these other threats you speak of? Cyber attacks may cause temporary chaos, but they can't threaten the existence of the Australian government.
The likes of Morrison Dutton Hartcher Markson Hanson Bolt Jennings make me doubt on humanity, fortunately we also have decent people like Keating in Australia. I watched this interview 3 times in a row, Keating's extraordinary intelligence, integrity, honesty and fairness blew my mind. I can listen to this wise man all day. Listening to this man for an hour beats 24/7 far right propaganda on Sky over a year.
Oh yes Keating what a decent bloke, he was so decent to support Suharto in the killing of the East Timorese back the 1990’s - the man has blood on his hands. He is also very dishonest given he profits from CCP involvement.
Gosh, the questions that those journalists asked show either they have been so brainwashed by Murdoch's media or they have really convinced themselves of the oft repeated lies. Keating is indeed a true Australian and only think of what is best for Australia and not being a pawn of US or UK like what EU is.

All the rest which was in the media was exactly as Paul Keating described it.
@@Sonofserbia I've never heard Paul say a good word about Australia or a bad word about China. He values China's sovereignty more than ours. He's clearly biased against the West.

Respect to the great man, I often struggled to watch an hour long interviews, but so interested by his intellect and sensible reasoning that I've watched this twice. His insight and reasoning just makes one wish if only more leaders were like him, maybe the world can be a better place. Utmost respect 🙌 (I'm not even Australian)
I know how these people thinking about China, their viewpoint. but they have few ways to know real China, and refuse true message from local China as fake news.
Watching it once was a waste of your time- He does not have the latest national security information/briefings! Why is that so difficult for people to understand? Just because someone speaks well doesn't mean they are automatically correct. It means they are arrogant- which is and has always been Keating's biggest weakness.
Dunno how much the Brits are getting, most of it's probably going to usa. Brit is just like us, just another appendage to uphold US hegemony while getting unscrewed in the ass economically.
The Brits are getting jack all from this deal - it was discussed and mocked in U.K. Parliament given Sunak had said it was as a consequence of Brexit. You’re using British designs and that’s it. It’s being domestically built in Australia - so you’re ‘wasting’ your tax payer money on your military industrial complex. You and 74 other jackasses clearly no f-all.
@@artnull13 he puts Australia interests above USA, it's Australia First policy, if US navy wants to threaten China in Chinese coastal line the go ahead, Keating would applaud but only defend Australia coastal line, so you want to follow USA lead to contain China? Australia failed to contain China in Korean War Vietnam War when China was weak, today China got No.2 navy, it's time for you join navy and destroy Chinese navy, let's say what would happen.
@@lvjinbin28 no he doesn’t. *Keating put’s his own interest and CCP China’s above Australia* in his China first policy - that much is clear. That’s why he wants Australia to have a weak defence and security policy. Tell me why is China so scared of Australia having nuclear powered subs when they China already has them? There’s also nothing in this agreement that says Australia has to follow the USA You’ve already admitted that CCP China has been the aggressor in Korea and Vietnam - so thank you.
@@trishadee4529 Then If you know that’s the case then you know threat is not the Chinese but instead it’s..you know who. And it means you have no sovereignty.

He was like a sponge and sought out intelligent and experienced people to learn from - like Jack Lang. Official schooling is one thing, learning is another and Keating is a life long learner. If only we had people of his passion, intelligence and drive in public life today.

Regardless of the wisdom of nuclear submarine deal undertaken by the present Government, when it comes to being “the worst deal in history” Paul Keating needs to look no further that his own incompetence when he was in office.
The ‘failed rock band manager’, seeking to call himself “The world’s greatest treasurer” needed to balance the budget. He did this by selling off the Commonwealth Bank, which robbed future governments of any control over interest rates, and thereby inflation. Initiating the boom-bust that we are enjoying today?
He then went on in 1985, to being instrumental in the ‘Negative Gearing’ legislation, with the naive belief that it would make more housing available, and boost the economy? In fact, by the figures of later reports, it had the very opposite effect, not only did it encourage states to end involvement in social housing, but 90 percent of the speculation investment went into established homes, and not new constructions.
The result was what we have today, with an estimated 150 thousand homeless, and soon to be rising as more homes are foreclosed on, and people are forced onto the streets?
When Paul Keating, now advisor to the CPC, China, talks about the “worst deal in history” he should consider the thousands of families and children his incompetence forced into poverty and ruined lives.? And the stresses that broke so many families apart.
Perhaps he should have an Oscar for the biggest failure in history?
The absolute mediocrity of those journalists with their high pitch voices, completely wrapped up in theirs neoliberal ideologie consistently ignoring the reality and nuance of international relations and diplomacy. Those idiots are justifying, to a naive Australian public, the destruction of 40 years of well crafted international policy that made us a very wealthy nation, to the sole benefit of American worse administration and some very corrupt people from the Capitol hill.
It's come to the point where if a person criticises AUKUS, they are immediately labeled as traitors or CCP spies. Hats off to Paul for saying what everyone else is too scared to say and pointing out the truth that the pollies and spy agencies don't want you to hear.

CCP is a hypocrite when it has higher protectionist policies while complaining about AU's reciprocal policies.
He is the TRUTH
Paul Keating is an irrelevant shithouse ex-PM who should butt out of the political scene. In the 80's he had the nickname of "The undertaker" well deserved because he just about gave the economy its own funeral. And when anyone dare speak up against him, how did he respond...? "Go get a job!" When unemployment was at the highest it had been since the depression of the 1920-30s of 11%.
I fear many in the audience would brush him off, probably condemning him as an old man with outdated views.
But Mr Keating is 100% right, why would China invade Australia??? If China wants to invade Australia, they can do so with ease, So what is China waiting for? All these young so called journalists are so arrogant. How come they are so brainwashed, they do not research deeper ??
100%.
Amazed to find that such a man with a clear, strong and independent mind still exist in Australia politics. He should be the PM again.
Xi Jingping should be your PM - Paul Keating would agree.
He was razor sharp - spitting facts and logic
@@bradenchou7338 spitting lies and obfuscations you mean. The guy has no clue, much like you, Chou.
Yes. Bring back Paul. The last time I was actually proud to vote.
Keating and his fellow thinkers should study The art of war by Sun Tsu. This is the play book actively being followed by the CCP since Deng Xiaoping. THINK ABOUT IT.
Always fun (and interesting) to listen to P Keating. No politician dares to take down journalists for asking stupid questions. Australian journalists should be grateful there is someone who is willing to expose their parochialism. Hope the National Press Club invites Keating to speak at least once a year. 👍😀

I certainly didn’t hear Keating put the current situation into any geopolitical context. It was so clear yet you’re unable to contextualise it 😂 please if it was so clear surely you can write a summary in reply to me.
If he had then he would have mentioned how China is literally threatening every single neighbour around it militarily - but he didn’t.
What I heard was - we should do what China wants and not anger them because of reasons and something something US hegemony and we need to more reliant economically on China something something sovereignty.

Paul Keating is turning out to be the only sane person in Australian political circle. Every politician wants Australia to be US' 51st state. Australia is not really an independent country at the moment. The US is sinking, their banks are all collapsing. Australia's biggest economic partner is China. The reason why Australia is unaffected by 2008 recession and not experiencing what Europe and UK are experiencing right now, is because the money are flowing from China, Indonesia and India. Yet the Australian politicians can't see this; they rather partner with the UK in whose economy is worse than Russia. And US which had reached the debt ceilings. Unbelievable.

I've watched this 3 times now. Can't think of a single leader today anywhere near him in terms of integrity. The way he dismantled those hacks that call themselves journalists was amazing.
This shows there's an epidemic in the media and the cancer has spread everywhere. It's horrifying. Not one journalist asked him a decent question in support of what he was saying to try and find a solution to this self induced problem.
Regardless of the wisdom of nuclear submarine deal undertaken by the present Government, when it comes to being “the worst deal in history” Paul Keating needs to look no further that his own incompetence when he was in office.
The ‘failed rock band manager’, seeking to call himself “The world’s greatest treasurer” needed to balance the budget. He did this by selling off the Commonwealth Bank, which robbed future governments of any control over interest rates, and thereby inflation. Initiating the boom-bust that we are enjoying today?
He then went on in 1985, to being instrumental in the ‘Negative Gearing’ legislation, with the naive belief that it would make more housing available, and boost the economy? In fact, by the figures of later reports, it had the very opposite effect, not only did it encourage states to end involvement in social housing, but 90 percent of the speculation investment went into established homes, and not new constructions.
The result was what we have today, with an estimated 150 thousand homeless, and soon to be rising as more homes are foreclosed on, and people are forced onto the streets?
When Paul Keating, now advisor to the CPC, China, talks about the “worst deal in history” he should consider the thousands of families and children his incompetence forced into poverty and ruined lives.? And the stresses that broke so many families apart.
Perhaps he should have an Oscar for the biggest failure in history?
Spot on! Telling it as it is. What’s happened to Australian politicians nowadays??!?
Well they got rid of all the ones taking CCP money so you only have Keating lying for you now.

@@KlausBahnhof The questions highlighted aspects of Keating's speech that were either confused or hypocritical.
Keating dealt with them by attacking the questioner or avoiding the question.
"Boots on our beaches" is most definitely *not* the only way China threatens us, and if he thinks 45 subs is better than 8, he clearly admits there is a threat that can be dealt with by subs.
@X Crockery He understands that, strategically speaking, 45 Collins subs are better than 8 nuclear subs. That doesn't mean he believes there is an imminent threat, as he explained that it is prudent to have an effective defence as a basic rule.
Aside from a hypothetical Chinese invasion on Australian soil (which is so unlikely as to be laughable), what are these other threats you speak of?

Paul Keating is a very smart man and he knows how important it is about our friends in our region and we don’t need outsiders from far away to tell us what to do with our friends and we should respect and support and trade and trust each other. Australia is very fortunate to have a great man like Paul Keating.
I take my hat off to X P.M., Mr. P. Keating. Much respect. Thou a senior, but his brain is just fine. A real Australian patriot, who put his country’s interest FIRST before the party or other country’s. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I didn’t realise Keating was a CCP citizen - because he certainly isn’t an Australian patriot mate.
@@artnull13 Which part of the policies he suggested weren't in Australia's interest?
Mr. Keating is a voice of reason who calls spade a spade without fear or favour, only what’s good for Australia 👍. Really hope the leadership from both sides of the political divide wake up from the dream world planted by the US that serve only the US’s interests at the expense of Australia’s interests and follow Mr. Keating’s advice.
