Paul Keating and Kerry O'Brien

- Paul Keating is one Australia’s most intriguing, controversial and reforming political figures. Kerry O’Brien is among our most experienced and incisive political journalists.
In this fast-moving conversation, Keating dives into his relationships with US leaders, British monarchs and their silverware; the pleasures of acupuncture and classical music; Keating's assessments of past and present Liberal leaders; the need for a treaty with Australia's Aboriginal nations; and the former prime minister's evaluations of his own political legacy.
When I was beginning to follow political debate, he was the treasurer and eventually became PM - there hasn’t been a stronger character since. Loved him and still do.
The Real Deal.
Paul Keating.
Brilliant political engineer. Unlikely to see the like again.
Mores the pity.

I'm glad I was not there, here I can applaud without interupting. Such a bright light with a big heart.
A true Australian hero, Paul Keating?!!!
Presently, under the present Morrison Government, I am ASHAMED AND SADDENED to be an Aussie !!!
If you're ashamed to be an Aussie there's plenty of other countries to choose from.
@@jamesrobertson432 Naa you can move to the USA instead and enjoy the LNP paradise of no universal health care, low wages and no workers rights at all, where you can sit back and proudly proclaim your not "entitled" or woke.
@@michaelandrews4783 Why would I leave? I'm not saddened or ashamed to be Australian. If someone's saddened and ashamed to be Australian then they might want to take the principled approach and move somewhere to be with people they aren't ashamed of. What's the point of being amongst a group your ashamed of? There's lots of other options.
Paul Keating what an amazing prime minister they best Australia had in policy wit smarts humour perfect package deal for Australia 🇦🇺
Do you think they deserve there suoer
Not wrong!😊
watching this in 2020 and it's a sad state of affairs to see what we have lost. A PM that stood for the Arts sector, Aborginal issues, prophetic vision on renewable energy... the fact that he is still so active in political conversation highlights the passion he has and concern for the absolute depredation of this country in the last 20 plus years
Still sad.
Just look at Indonesia, it's economy has had massive growth on the past 5 years and we failed to bank off a lot of that
Two of the best intellects of their time. Yes there was Jana Wendt but & many good people in our media. People including myself were worried about the concentration of media.
Australia and the world lost so much not having Paul Keating at the helm

Him & Gillard really got out the whip to keep the opposition inline.
You could hear the whip cracking & singing through Gillard's famous speech or Keating's constant humour tearing apart the opposition Dog's for their respective period's.
I admit it paraphrase it part of my act
It's just a shame that today's parliamentarians do not share the same enthusiasm for policy and the big issues.
Paul Keating would have to be best PM ever. he knew what was best for Australia (Republic Nation). he had courage.
The Hon Paul Keating MP rules! Our best ever PM. He could run circles around the opposition with effortless art.
I remember him boasting about dismantling our National security. No so smart now huh?
" And with Bob, they could've been sardine cans " 🤣( referring to precious silver the topic of discussion amongst the royals and our finest ever PM/Treasurer duo back in the 80s ) ..i love this man, and Bob. RIP Bob Hawke . Forever the People's Prime Minister
What an inspiration.
Straight and to the point, no messing,
Totally committed to the doing what was best for his people.
Historically one of the very few genuine leaders the world is privileged in knowing.
Trickey yes, but only good tricks providing Australians with better standards of living.
Genuine for the people by the people.
Tynagh.
An articulate and compelling discussion between two Titans of their respective fields. thank you for the upload.
Thanks to Keating & Hawke for their great idea of Superannuation, again thank you you two!
A man of the people, of culture, of integrity, of wit and a titan of Australian politics. I sincerely hope to see more cut from the same cloth soon.
aboriginal people had a golden age whilst keating was pm. we embraced sooo much culture at that time. its a different sadder place today.
Why didn't you write an autobiography? Well, I reckon that, if you're any good, somebody else will write about you.
So bloody Keating 😍
Well isn’t writing your own autobiography just an excercise in self indulgence??
I genuinely believe he should run again for PM. He’d smash it
This man is an intellectual giant, a reminder of the great potential of this nation, and a reminder also of just how appallingly unimpressive and useless ScoMo is
So good. Didn't have time for glorification, just wanted the job to be done properly and that was why he was there. Keating was too good at what he did to worry about wanky things like autobiographies. Legend.
autobiographies arent wanky, they are blueprints for the future leaders to follow and be inspired by. They are essential as they provide DECADES of experience, information and critical advice in any profession you could think of in just a few hundred pages.
Oh bring him back. A man of vision and guts. There is no one like him around now.
I love the long format of these interviews. Plenty of time to get to the heart of the matter.
Wonderful ... just wonderful.
So true, without Australian arts, Australia has American culture. Ahrt is a culture builder, that’s just as important as the economics, because it can translate into economics but also nation building and community building
Just about the premiere political leader of the past 50 years, not just in Australia, but on the global stage. Very few come along that have the vision, the intellectual weaponry and the ability to tie it all into a powerful narrative.
My son Carlo Edward Caiani, geelong grammar alumni, stated at interview for Trinity college two years ago, when asked what he would do differently to make Australia a greater country, that Australia should give, Yes Give, all aboriginals 10% of all public companies on ASX, and large private companies ; he goes on to say, that would be fair and it would give all aboriginals a fair share of Australian wealth and a real vested interest in Australia's future & prosperity...
needles to say I was shocked, just how brillient and fair was that...!!!
The one and only politician that I ever had time for and the only one to hold my interest in the whole side show since. A real shame he didn't try to make a come back after loosing to Howard, not that I can blame him, he must have been totally dismayed that people saw Howard as a better choice than him. Someone who in no way represented the qualities of 'strong leader'.
I always wondered how your average aussie bloke saw him as country leading material.

No it was the beginning of the concentration of News Ltd in politics. The 2001 election was the most disgraceful election of my life. Now we just expect the media to try & take over the country l
That's what happens when your political enemies have a monopoly in the media 😔
In another video I remember Kerry o,BRIEN saying regarding PJK,we will perhaps see the likes like Keating only once in a life time.
Brilliant man with intelligence, ethics and integrity.
Brilliant man. Thank you for the upload
"The old lady has fallen out of the chair." I'm back to watch this, sept 2022.
Ah, and so she has passed away, what a great lady, so respected by Mr Keating and the world.Time now for Australia to really grow up.
The most intelligent and rational person in politics
What a boss!
He is not a politician anymore but he is a leader!
Keating! Such a necesary genius for Australia. A beacon in a sea of mediocrity
Utterly brilliant 🙏😂
Love this man!
You know, short expediency vs long term gains is, well it feels like why, Keating was voted out. The “recession we had to have” blah.
What could we have gained from one more Keating term?
These two are a natural duo
i admire him , he says what he thinks , as the man from bankstown , he knows shellbacks ,
Wake up !
Exactly, at least he spoke of the truth!
I did not like the stuff he did to me in small business and he celebrated the dismantling of Australia’s national security, but I don’t know a prime minister that had a pulse like this bloke. It was unfortunate his ego was so disrupted by Bob Hawks dishonesty. It seems the world according to Keating is very important that we recognise his brilliance as he does. Such is his ego. He is mentally alert like non other.
You must be bleeding inside that scott morrison was so unfairly voted out!! If only john howard could live forever!
Kerry O Brien used to be Australian journalist for ABC with Foreign Correspondent
12:31 Is Keating channeling Lang here?
I would love to chat with that fella before the end
Would love for Keating to be our Head of the state 🇦🇺 Father of Modern Australia
Go Republic and do him the honour.
True Australia headed by its true creator.
Now that would be very, very nice to see
Janet albrechtsen tried her tricks on pjk in 2013, she fell short then and she was skilled in her dark arts as a conservative columnist to give her her due, but pjk shelved her in their spat-by-letter! In his 60s!
Wonderful performance by both men. Unlikely to see this high level from Howard, Abbott and Scomo. Perhaps Turnbull.
This is one of the countries problems , thanks to Murdoch principally . I was involved in putting equipment into Loy Yang B & what an amazing power station that was the last big power station built in Victoria. Nothing else was in the pipeline. Kennet in disbanding the SECV broke up the infrastructure planning dept for the future in Victoria. So now we no planning for probably 30 years. I am talking about Solar energy planning .
You know, I have voted Liberal all my life. However if this bloke came along now I would walk to Bourke to vote for him. I have no idea how the gene pool in Australian politics has become as inbred as a Hillbilly. I think political correctness has created a vacuum of intellect. Hopefully Shrek sets a precedent and more of them ping off.
We need both Costello and Keating back.
Agree with your sentiments Stefan, however ? you voted for Abbot ?????
If you speak UP to anyone, the public, your children, the road rager in the traffic jam, you will get the BEST out of them. speaking DOWN to someone, like using CAPS in CZcams comments, is counterproductive at best...:)
Kerry: "The Māories were a single nation". Not really, though certainly through shared ancestry and almost similar language they were in a very different situation to Australian aboriginal societies.
we had our head in our hands in 2008 Kerry O'Brien, as regional and rural Australia was being ravaged by a decade long drought, and had no income... something that was foreign to you as you sucked lavish your lifestyle out of the ABC
This man could run for prime minister again and I reckon he'd get in.
@8.01 while standard of education in high school has gone down. An extension 2 maths exam from 1960s is as good as university year 1 maths exam.
We have increased number of people passing year 12 but now it means nothing to finish HSC.
Prof steve keen saved us from the mess of the gfc. Neoclassical economics created it.
No mention at all of East Timor. No surprise.
I really want us to be pals with japan and thailand again
"Universe" means turning together.
The Fusion-Fission Function bonding relative-timing proportioning is mono-dualistic.
This is all-ways all-at-once here-now-forever continuously re-evolving standing wave-packaging creation, aka Holographic Principle Imagery.
Review, reiterate and restate the information In-form-ation.., with or without Acupuncture.
Ken Henry was a smart guy.
Much as I admire his wit he unfortunately followed the neo-liberal economic gameplan.

This man is hilarious.
Two comrades scratch each others' backs.
👨💻💭Paul Keating bugga me 👍
mon LIBS R Taking VALIUM EVERY MORNING And Shoving important Documents in the too hard to do draw Again👍😅🦘
why nothing is ever done 😅😅😅😁legend paul is best ever not in here seen 3 videos b4 😎☎💭hello
A genius 😢a tiger 🐯 a mind that is unique, in top 3 ever labor party. His humour is absolutely gold , if only the democrats in usa had a Paul Keating, crush the orange pathological lier that is toxic to usa 🇺🇸 and republicans. Important the teals relevant in oz to push for logical balance and zen in aus
One thing Paul keating ,tells the truth on the queen n her family .old fashioned bullshit that should end . Fare play for speaking some truths
@@maude6626 thank you 😊
Oh dear don’t you think Paul has become dizzy while spinning on his “J” curve.
So, at 1:02 the Kiwi treaty is mentioned. WHY the hell did that treaty happen when the Maori had only been in NZ for 2 or 3 hundred years. They came from Pacific islands and basically ate the original inhabitants, the Mori Ori ( spelling?) out of existense. The biggest con job of all time surely!!!
Because the Maori were warlike, smart and strategic. They embraced the challenge of destroying the pakeha invaders. Settlers were asked to go back to Australia and only military families requested to stay. The Treaty of Waitangi occurred only because a mutual respect for the military capabilities was recognised on both sides.
.Māori had been there for 600 years before pākeha settled. Moriori were Māori. But don't let history get in the way of a good story...
When you look at the stats Keating was a disaster and lost in a landslide.
After 13 years of Labor in government. It was time for a change. Howard got rolled in ‘07 after a decade, didn’t even hold his own seat.
Howard. He just wants fit for purpose
Had Keating not gone into politics he would have enjoyed a distinguished career as a stand-up comic. Hang on - he did.
They never talk about how much they still get paid buy tax posters and live and easy life
Not sure I am richer.. not sure i have sixty percent disposable income.. not sure they are real wages...Any gains are off set by the massive cost of living we have to endure in Perth at least .. and the massive amount of taxes. Utilities are through the roof, and taxes are absurdly high.
Isn’t there a place where old pollies can go to pasture?
Not for Mr Paul Keating.
His expertise is needed now as much as ever.
The is the treasurer who oversaw 17percent interest rates for homeowners and 24percent commercial interest rates ! There were so many foreclosures the banks couldn’t put for sale signs on them all !
did it pay off? I found it hard, but things got easier. By the way... if interest rates are high world wide, is it the fault of the domestic government? That's what some contemporary morons seem to think.
Always trying to justify his legacy. So insecure.
idiot
@@kymcha no insecurity... only too pleased to educate those who fail to read and study the history..... those of us who lived through these years can verify the legacy of an amazing visionary.
@@luvyawoods I wasn't referring to PK but the poster of the 'insecure' comment. PK was a gifted visionary decades ahead of his time.
Oh really?? Facts are facts Michael. Can you prove anything he says is incorrect?
