Sydney Writers' Festival Paul Keating in conversation with Kerry O'Brien

imagination, courage and strength

all rolled up into one

A political leader of the highest order. What gives PJK his texture and presence is his respect and recall of history. It has served him well in public life and makes him so compelling. This is one of the best clips on PJK I have seen. We get to hear his thought processes. There is so much in this conversation to be enjoyed and reflected upon. I have always said PJK is the master of unpacking and articulating complex policy and making accessable to the common person. A great Australian.

Keating uses great combinations of local lingo and poetic flourishes.
