- The election of Trump and the victory of the Brexit movement are the most obvious examples of the populism driving countries to become more insular. This combined with China's return to a power of the first order means that Australia faces an increasingly uncertain world.
Hear from former Prime Minister Paul Keating about the path Australia should forge in this rapidly changing world. He has long argued a greater independence in Australian foreign policy could be beneficial and allow more focus on our immediate neighbours: Asian countries to our north.
Speakers:
The Hon. Paul Keating
Few Australians have thought more deeply, originally and provocatively on Australia's foreign policy challenges than Paul Keating. This is a unique opportunity to hear his thinking on a 'new' world with Donald Trump as American President.

He is amazing. The greatest Australian alive today.
I can honestly say that a leader such as Paul Keating's calibre is hard to come by, perhaps, one in the century. Whether Australians agreed with him or not but the fact of the matter is that every one of us Australian has enjoyed the fruits of his visions and reforms when he had been a Treasurer and then a Prime Minister of Australia.
He was our last leader who actually HAD a vision. I miss him.
His world view is real.
"The world is returning to the basic shape it had before industrialisation."
That statement changed the way I think about international relations, without the massive gap in technology and economics that the west has enjoyed for the past two centuries the old powers of India and China will reenter a steady state of them being first rate nations.
China? First rate nation? Drinking the Kool Aid.

How did western nations achieve this massive gap in technology and economics?
@@elizabethblackwell6242 go read up about Chinese civilisation or Joseph Needham's Chinese Scienc and ivil
Civilisation before taking to the bottle like a hopeless single.
China and India will only be first world nations for the rich and upper Middle class the rest won't change
Always great to listen to PK.
Really starts from 10:00; then after a rather long-winded question, Keating first speaks from 12:00 🙂
The more I listen the more I know he’s well across our security issues. Our future lies in our region. Up until very recently our Prime Minsters have known that. We help where we can. We trade, we seek our defensive security in cooperation. There are clear examples both sides. Now it’s time to come to the table. Not rattling of old bones hollow, empty sounding smoke and smirk publicity. Just an adult really.
Interesting to reflect about the apparent lack of leadership in Australia today, I would like to pose two questions for debate. And that is: "Considering the distinct lack of Guts and Vision in Australian politics today", what do people think it will take to achieve the broader reforms of climate change, a new positive economic vision for Australia and a republic state? What will be the tipping point of when we realise that it is inevitable and start the real work?
I thought he 'blew off' the human rights problem a bit. I understand the lifting out of poverty of the Chinese. But the Chinese indifference on the East Asia 'colour revolutions' and ethnic cleansing in Myanmar (just to name a couple) gives a sense of what a world with China as the lead will be - In their own self-interest regardless of values. I did like his point about being clever and imaginative - I think is where Australia can help China become' responsible' with their power.
They is No to the authoritarian regimes.
Paul Keating is the Greatest Prime minister in the world, of the modern, post WW2 era. 👍
...How often do we hear "The Honorable John Howard"...🙄
new great states not expected to accept 'our rules'?Maybe so but investors from Asia (and Russia towards Europe) are voting with their feet by looking to our states for secure investments in a rules based economy. We have opportunity to create more investment opportunities by engendering economic development in our region through providing for displaced people across the region. For example help Bangladesh deal with the economic needs of the Rohingya influx by investing in infrastructure where it would help the entire Bangladeshi economy
So so interesting, Keating has one of the most refined political intellects of recent times.I wish to god we had him in the UK.
We had him, and many of us, truth be told, particularly of Irish descent, loved him, and love him still,..but, dreadfully, he inexplicably lost power to the sections of Australian ‘ conservatism ‘ that represent nought but fear, retreat, and a visceral loathing of any and all recognition of the genocide that visited Australia’s indigenous peoples,..
sound ?
I've noticed fiscal policy being developed by Keatings old mate Malcolm, is re-aligning to the centre since Keatings public engagement has expanded. Thank christ...ignore Keatings insight at your peril
He has an abundance of common sense....not so common.
10 minutes of introductions ? shove it
Our role in Asia ,where are now Mr Keating the CCP has done us like dinner ,still got your pension though ,whilst thousands unemployed .Trust China eh ,ask the 6000 Qantas workers sacked today no huge pension for them your pension is guaranteed
it’s the American and European countries screwed the world up this time. Don’t you know? Some people are very shortsighted and live in their own bubbles. They see any issue as someone else’s fault.
So left wing that you are going around in circles
There is NOTHING honourable about this man. If the public only knew what he's hiding
What is he hiding? He was without doubt the greatest prime minister Australia has had. He was a leader...a visionary..a forward thinker..someone who was always Australia's best advocate.
good one Kev Alphabet, good trolling.
Fiona Barnett said he was a necrophiliac who killed and raped a young boy on p. 206 of her book Eyes Wide Shut.
@@auraveenley.8743 She's a nutbar. Illuminati confirmed.
Dont know, looks sorta anti life, dark, a little hateful. Dont know about the vibe I'm getting from him.
He's such a bell end
Keating is profoundly out of touch with the reality of the crisis we face
Explain more
SO KEATING HAS NO CLEAR IDEA WHY X HOW THE WORLD IS OPERATING OR HE CANNOT ARTICULATE THEM CLEARLY...disappointing
