Because he can see the agenda by imputation of the question. Keating mistake was he didn’t call a snap election after he wiped clean Downer. He then would’ve had three years to destroy the Coward instead of having less time to expose him. Keating is a Champion he stood for real Labor

The guy could think on his feet unlike the current clown pm we got. Opinion is moro is still looking for his clown boots but he'll be brb once hes found them and chatted with his 'advisors'..

@@DavidTron63 ...On the contrary, 'Da Mo' can - like Howard was able to do - think on his feet, while that's what makes his creepy clown act so persuasive. Nevertheless, if Keating was here now as Opp. leader rather than Albo, he would have smashed 'Clown Mo' into a pulp!

And a complete Tosser as it turned out.

He did. Patrick of Melbourne was locked out. The union sued and won.

I'll echo that. One of the saddest days in the political life of Australia when Howard became PM. It's so sad when it's realised by many, how brilliant Paul Keating was as a leader of Australia.

You have to remember Howard only won 96 election fair and square. In 98 he has a majority and then lost most of it. So he did not have a mandate if you take into account the result of that election. He was expected to get a thumping in 2001, until Tamper and 911 event. Howard was a weasel he worked those two events simultaneously to win that election. Come 2004, he had a stupid opposition leader which handed him the election result, when you factor in he was better alternative of Mark Latham the sell out. 2007 he lost to Rudd. So in reality he was a one term wonder, not an innovative leader with ideas or solutions. He just happened to have events work in his favour

@@clubberlang589 What did I just read? Only a leftie's brain could come turn 11 years as PM into a 'one term wonder'. Morrison was supposed to get a thumping. Australia does not want to be lead by the left. Rudd only got in because he leans to the centre and is a relatable guy. The Gillard experiment put Labor into obscurity for the foreseeable future

We folowed America into war, believed a PM saying people were throwing kids overboard.......... The public believed it thanks to Murdoch

@@callumbrady88 keep defending the war monger Howard. He lost 98 election he did not even get 50% quota it was the distribution of the votes on seats that just got him over. 48% of the vote. Then Tamper and 9/11. Yes great leader in a time of crisis. He exposed his real and true initiative by using the refugees who mostly came from Afghanistan trying to leave a country run by the Taliban and use it to his electoral advantage. This is why he is an opportunistic piece of shit weasel. No better than Morrison. It seems Self Righteous Conservatives know how to attract that type of morality.

Work (for nix) No Choices.

That’s because he could only follow a script. He was unable to précis the question to the part Keating may not have heard.

No. That was Keating's description of Costello.

No it wasAlexander Downer he was refering to

The low altitude flyer was Costello. Saw the video a few minutes ago

@@evangiles9249 well, to be fair he was also a low altitude flyer, albeit with a proclivity for women's stockings!

And then there were the dark days of McGowan...... Labor.....Liberal.....both the same.

Johhny the joke. He helped ruin our reputation in the pacific

100%

Mystikal 36 he was more than effective when he rfollowed the script of the globalist cabal when addressing the nation to send our troops into Iraq for the non-existent WMDS.

@@drhollingworth5548 Fair call. Bush said to Coward jump he said how high

Mystikal 36 yep

Maybe so, I wonder how Albonese would have handled the Covid19 crisis, responses are welcomed.

How can we explain the working class voting for those upper cuts.

@@Kajpaje alot of propaganda

@@stevvvvveperry That's the easy answer, the propaganda. But it's the appropriation of working class culture, like Morrison watching Rugby League. Howard, Cash, Morrison, all adept at affecting a working class accent, peppered with common phrases. It's as confected as a strong curry with raw chicken.

@@Kajpaje not to mention the so called free speech warriors, who try to conflate free speech issues with right wing issues to get the working class on their side.

@@Kajpaje also I'm part of the working class and I see right through the liberal agenda

Des Lang your an idiot Patricks lost both the leases to the victorian rail network it had and the Acacia Ridge site under labour governments

Des Lang : It’s not because they support Labor or its vision for working people. They came to the understanding & realisation that to get what you want, you need to pay them to ensure you have them in your pocket. They came to this point because it was so embarrassing publicly that it cost them dearly in their reputation. So they pay them to keep things quiet.

Yes, we would be far better off with good old Socialism; with higher tariffs and lower quality products, forcing the many to pay for the few.

Looks like we have learnt a few lessons lately, time to get some better trading partners, and get some product security.

Many manufacturing businesses need a sizeable domestic customer base and an international customer base to keep the doors open. 1. The domestic customer base for many manufacturing businesses ended up divided between local manufacturers their foreign competitors. 2. The quality of the manufactured goods with a longer lifespan do not need replacing as often as they once did. 3. There is a magic number for every manufacturing business........ they have to produce and sell X number of items per week to pay for the materials, overheads, and wages to keep people employed and the doors open. A mathematical equation determines the number of manufactured units the domestic market requires. .....the size of the Australian population / the average number of people per family x 1 unit in the case of something like an electric jug. So, if the population is 26 million and the average family is 4 people.....the domestic market can support the manufacturing of 6.5 million electric jugs...... in theory. However, if there are 4 companies making said jugs and each makes 10,000 per week.............these 4 companies meet that number in 162.5 weeks..... so about 3 years........ then those 4 companies become overwhelmingly reliant on their international market. However, when we throw foreign competitors into the domestic market and say they import 30,000 units a week........ the equation changes. Now, it is 6.5 million units divided by 70,000....... so the domestic market is theoretically saturated in 98.2 weeks. If the Australian companies need to sell 10,000 units and their sales drop to 2,000 units each per week......... they have to sell 32,000 units a week to other countries for them to keep the doors open. 4. Once the domestic market is saturated, the business has to rely more on its international market, the businesses' sustainability becomes far more vulnerable...... if something goes awry overseas....... such as losing their market share in some of the other countries........ the Australian businesses can no longer afford to keep their doors open........... Unfortunately, for Australia, our small population, when many businesses see the above factors play out.......... simply do not have the sales to justify keeping their doors open.......... if Australia had a domestic population of 120 million, many of our manufacturing businesses would still be here. The other thing Australia might have done....... and I believe it will happen globally within a few years....... is governments will consider introducing an artificial lifespan on manufactured goods to ensure forced consumerism makes more manufacturing businesses sustainable......... a Brave New World scenario It is so strange in one sense.......... many countries are starting to feel the curse of overpopulation............ while Australian businesses, on the other hand, have long been feeling the curse of under-population.

Meanwhile the Liberals: -sold our largest beef producer to Chinese company -sold our largest dairy producer to Chinese buyer -sold our largest baby formula producer -sold Alinta energy company which then went on to have breaches of customer information -China owns roughly 2% of Australia's water supply without paying capital gains tax -NT liberals gave a Chinese company a 99 year lease of port Darwin and Morrison could've stopped it but didn't. -struck a deal to store defence department data with a firm with 49% Chinese ownership China also owns an 80% stake in our largest cotton station, which Labor had policy back in 2012 requiring them to wind it down to 51% within three years, meanwhile Liberals extended the deadline twice, in 2016 and 2019. Labor have also pushed to use the Liberal's new foreign ownership veto powers to reverse the port Darwin deal. So who's really bending the knee to them more
