  • This free public event marked the release of the definitive biography of Australia’s 24th Prime Minister, and the first that Keating has cooperated with in more than two decades. Keating and Bramston discussed current political events and reflected on Keating's rise to power, his time in government and his passions and interests since.
    Drawing on around 15 hours of new interviews with Keating, coupled with access to his extensive personal files, their book tells the story of a political warrior’s ascent, from the outer suburbs of Sydney through Young Labor and into Parliament at just 25 years of age, serving as a minister in the last days of the Whitlam Government; his path-breaking term as Treasurer in the 1980s; his four-year prime ministership from 1991 to 1996; and his passions and interests since.

    Paul Keating, one of the great Australians. Regrettably today there is no one to match him.

    Paul Keating. Never before, never again. How privileged am I to have lived through the Keating era. How loudly do I proclaim that he is my biggest inspiration, my hero.

    What's amazing about Keating is that he has a mind as rigorous as any intellectual yet he left school at 14.........wouldn't get a guy like him nowadays

      Why not? In a country outside of here you would likely get someone with the nous and street cred to educate themselves, like say in Africa where mostly you don't have the options as we do here. My father finished high school at 13 in 1931, which was the norm in the countryside, but he applied himself and got somewhere. It was a different era.

    He managed the Ramrods then he fearlessly and intellectually managed the future for all of us.
    He and Barry Humphries are the two greatest contributors to the country.
    Our best ever PM.

    To a point it is unfortunate that this discussion is bogged down in history on the basis of geography and nationalisms. Forward thinking, the future, of the ideal kind would be more in terms of the world as one.
