Paul Keating Bringing Home The Bacon

Paul Keating delivers the budget that brings home the bacon. This was Australia's biggest ever budget surplus, as it still is to this day relative to GDP.

Keating never sent the country broke, haha, it was just a recession. Under keating, we were the fastest growing economy in the developed world.

Keatings economic reforms brought this country into the 'first world', and without them, we would not be nearly as successful as we are today.

@AussiePolitics most governments have sold off assets, I agree. However, none to the extent that the Howard Gov did.

As for living standards (which is NOT a direct link to the economy), go an look it up. Australia slipped several places during Howards time in office, so it is hardly debatable.

The Hawke / Keating government reforms of the 80s and 90s set the country up for financial successfor the last 20 years. We need another government like this now to make reforms for the next 20 years.

@carlosantuckwell 1.) Paul Keeting doesn't upload videos.

2.) There are several copies of that video, you can comment on the other ones.

Megalomaniac Keating has disabled comments on his clip against Tony Abbott.

Obviously he is scared about what people might post to his character-assassination clip.

No debate on the issues of the Paid-Licences-To-Pollute (Carbon-tax - the price of which is to be set by the Stock Market! - some "Labor" party!), no debate, just character-assassination - like some Barrister.

The ALP went pro-Corporate from the time of Hawke on. Aussie workers are sucked in by a name. Carbon Tax = Labor GST.

@bigredtaxi Here, here! It's ridiculous how the blue ribbon folk are so biased in suggesting that Keating put the economy into debt. Almost thought they blame him and that government for a world wide recession. Just laughable. Then Peter Cost-a-lot gets all the credit for being a brilliant treasurer for bringing upon a budget surplus which was attributed by the Howard and co privatising public assetts. Good old short-term fix solutions by a short-sighted Liberal government. Praise the Simpletons

@redrooster241 the disturbing thing is the number of people who would still vote for her after all the failures, there's clearly a huge number of people who either have zero education or they want this country to be taken over.

@Soundgarden8497 gilliard just wants to stay as pm. shes just a puppet while the greens are actually controlling the whole thing. carbon tax- by greens. australia politics is not about the people's choice anymore. just fucking greed and power and making stupid shitty decisions.
