- This video gives a brief overview of the 38th federal Australian election.
With Keating appearing almost undefeatable following his unexpected win in 1993 the coalition would struggle with deciding who should take on leadership against the 13 year old Labor government. Can the collation find the right leader and policies to finally take them into office after 10 years?
All Australian Elections is a informative series that is meant to give an entertaining overview of the history of Australian politics by looking into each federal election from 1901 to today. Mistakes are likely present in these videos and I DO NOT recommend the use of these videos for any non-fictional works and recommend people look to the original sources.
I do not claim ownership of the images of videos used in this series and credit goes to there original sources.

Great to see you covered the Downer months...🤣
Labor often loses in landslides when they lose government (1931, 1949, 1975, 1996, 2013) but this was perhaps the least deserved. There weren't any major divisions within Labor and there wasn't much economic or political turmoil in general. The main reason, it seems, was that Paul Keating was arrogant.
Pretty much. The economy was recovering, unemployment was reducing, all of the ALP vulnerabilities of the 1990 and 1993 elections were receding. But God, Keating was arrogant, and he still is, to be honest.
He did have his flaws. For example, the often-overlooked fact that Paul Keating as PM was worse than John Howard when it came to climate change policy. Keating's efforts to actively obstruct any substantial emissions reductions policy when he was PM is often left out of the Keating mythos, which is a shame because people don't realize how hypocritical Keating is when he criticizes the Coalition over climate change policy.
But none of that was a big election issue in 1996. He basically lost because he lacked Hawke's friendliness and Howard's modesty.
Great video mate, cant wait for you to do 2019 on King Sco Mo
That first comment makes me realise how young the younger generation are. I was alive for the 1987 election but the 96 is the first one I remember. Looking back now it was an incredibly bleak era.
Please check some of the pronunciations, I have noticed afew errors in names in the last few videos
The content of these videos is great, but the background music is distracting.
Nice video mate, when will the 1998 will be will it be next year mate.
You didn’t pronounce Cheryl Kernot’s name correctly. The “t” in Kernot is silent.
Can you stop being so critical on all my videos. I explain in each videos description that I have made mistakes. Also its not as if I know any one with that name nor seen videos to hear it pronounced.
2:34 - “Is my State finally gonna get a PM after 95 years?”
Wasn’t Bob Hawke born in Bordertown? I know it’s not metropolitan Adelaide, but I’ll take him as the first SA born PM.
Hawke Represented a Victorian Seat during his Prime Ministership. I mention that in the 1983 election.
It isn't OXLAY, It's OXLEY.
I LOVE THESE CHANNELS I LOVE ELECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheryl Kernot = pronounced “Ker-no”
Coverage of 1996 election didnt begin until 5 minutes in. We really didnt need to hear about Hewson and Downer that much. And its pronounced “Kerno”.
Series is a wider take on Australian political history. I'm not sure if you have watched any of my other videos?
Watch my 1901 election video for the ground rules on how I do my videos.
The title of the video is “Australian Election of 1996”. I was expecting more of the Australian election of 1996.
@@fabioscalia9253 Sorry that my backstory giving context to the election wasn't to you liking.
It isn't Ker-NOT. It is Ker-NO.
