"We non-Aboriginal Australians should remind ourselves that Australia once reached out for us."
We have all allowed this moral clarity to be systematicly degraded and diminished.
That is what a visionary leader looks like - capable of respecting others, and capable of leading for all. PJ Keating could have been an inspiration, if he had not introduced mandatory detention for asylum seekers. The last non-psychopathic Australian PM.
Howard introduced mandatory detention
Watching this in 2020 and realising that this country has actually regressed is so depressing
It's a shame.
Hasn't really regressed. Just not much has happened.
U.N. LIMA DECLARATION 1975. In 1967 they replaced our money with counterfeit. Destroyed from within by these fabian / jesuit / whackjobs. no surprise they have us all in lockdown now we know.
Professor X We are doing this all for your health. Don’t forget that one. The hypocrisy is oozing out of there mouth. When did they ever care about our health issues prior to this last year as they claimed. They did a great job managing AIDS crisis
@@clubberlang589 They had to at least pretend to care. Like with the bushfires.
Keating was Austrlais greatest and most compassionate prime minister, he actually had a soul.
Lol th-cam.com/video/snbUVvu_RkE/w-d-xo.html
Red slippers, too.
@@johnnyslist9355 lol to you too, for being that misguided fool you e always been, posting irrelevant links, just so you’ll be noticed. It must be sad how people ignore you, and how much you crave attention in your real life, where those close to you shake their head and give you sideways glances and laugh behind your back at your pathetic attempts to be part of the in crowd.
You’re such a sad and sorry person. You really need to try harder if you don’t want people hating you so much.

Keating sold his soul. Who was the ex PM mentioned in parliament by senator Heffernan???
@@asherouk7308 red shoeclub, I doubt most people don't realise Keating was the ex PM mentioned by senator Heffernan in parliament, elite red shoes...
True bravery. This bloke instead of going to the queens palace and the white house every year, he went to redfern, the unofficial capital of dispossed aboriginal people. And even though you can hear people yelling at him and telling him to get out of their country, and he went up there knowing his kin had stolen the land and knowing that this speech was gonna be an absolute mess, he confronted the people and the sins and acknowledged everything and promised to do better and he did. He may not have been the pm everyone wanted, but jesus fuck was he the bloke we needed and still need that type of bloke today.
and when the queen came to our place he invaded her personal space something shocking !
Easily, the best speech Paul Keating ever made.
Twenty years on. Have we achieved much? Can you imagine Tony Abbot delivering a speech like this or even sharing the sentiment expressed? I think not.
Australia has achieved nothing throughout history. We are still living in the bush. But i do agree we need to more about the gap between some poor communities in Australia.
Angelo Lekopoulos to why Paul Keating was decades and Centuries ahead of the mindset of that day.
He didn't bank on Australia voting in such an evolutionary throwback just 3 years later.
Paul Keating’s 1992 speech is an excellent example of clear communication. Straightforward in his language and persuasive in his effect, Keating welcomes the 1993 Year of the World’s Indigenous People by speaking openly about the effects the arrival of non-Indigenous people to Australia had on the Indigenous inhabitants. Keating is compelling when reminding non-Indigenous Australians of the ‘opportunity and care’ provided to them and their ancestors by Australia, and inviting non-Indigenous Australians to ‘imagine ourselves’ in the situations forced upon Aboriginal Australians as a result of colonisation. The situating of non-Aboriginal Australians as a people who enjoy an embarrassment of riches in the opportunities offered to them in this country, while being culpable for the wrongs done to Aboriginal people, creates a strong sense of injustice on the behalf of Aboriginal Australians. On this note, the speech turns towards the positive developments of the Mabo decision and the formation of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander run organisations. Redfern Park, the venue of the speech, is near The Block, a collection of housing for Aboriginal people owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company since 1972. Choosing to deliver his speech in a community space easily accessible to Aboriginal residents of Redfern earns Keating a star, as does persevering through some shouting from the crowd, one of whom seemed to be saying ‘get out of our country!’. However, the fact that this speech took place in 1992, with little improvement to some markers of ‘justice’ and ‘equity’ chosen by Keating such as health prospects and outcomes for Aboriginal people, means that this speech’s three and a half star rating is for style rather than impact.
homework? hahah
no one lives upsidydowny on a spinning ball flying space like a retarded monkee. no one.
A touching speech from a guy wearing one of his many $10,000 Italian suits. The guy was all heart.
This has to be one of the best speeches surely, the way the crowd goes from jeering to quietly listening is so captivating. Truly our last visionary leader
Watching this again in 2022 when the Nationals have vowed to oppose the Voice and Howard is advising the Liberal Party to oppose it and forbid a free vote.
The Hon. Prime Minister Paul Keating Outstanding Speech.
Damn, what a speech - very few speeches like them anywhere in history
One of the greatest speeches in Australia's history. Oh to have politicians of PJK's integrity and passion.
no i think you are wrong with this one i believe that William McMahon provided us with the best speeches in Australian political history
Yes, i have to say that i agree with Mr Lekopoulos. William McMahon provided Australia with beautiful speeched of Wisdom and fulfilled Australia with courage. William is an idol to my children and other children that i have associates with. William inspired my Priesthood encounters ever since a young age. God Bless
outstanding speech & great intentions, but hasn't worked 'till today - maybe it will in the year to come. Happy New Year to all !

For the Indigenous population, this speech signified a step towards equity whereby years of brutality and inhumane slaughter inflicted on their people was finally bought into light. While the trauma of the experience was not lessened by an apology, it signifies their willingness to reconcile. The applause Keating received in response to his speech signifies the communal agreement to reside in Australia as equals.
who are you ?
"... signified ...".
Yes, sadly, that was all.
Yes Elizabeth and for non-Indigenous Australians it was a wake up call. Somebody finally said it out loud, and that somebody was our Prime Minister. Yet here we are, 30 years later, and the other side of politics plans to sabotage the Voice referendum. The junior partner’s already started the process. Howard’s advising the Liberal party to oppose it and deny the party a conscience vote. Poor fella, our country.
250 documented massacres between 1788- 1928 that account for about 4,000 innocent Aboriginal people. Men. Women. Children. The men who committed these crimes against humanity belong in the same basket as Brenton Tarrant. There’s no difference. The average Australian feels the same way about the former historical crimes as they do about the latter. They were committed by criminally minded individuals on a frontier beyond British law by individuals that believed they could get away with their crimes because of that reality. Most did. A handful were tried and hung. As they deserved to be.
In my view, one of - if not the - greatest speech(es) by an Australian prime minister.
If only more politicians in colonial Australia, especially at the federal/national level, would speak and act as such in decolonisation and reconciliation. It was a multicultural continent before its occupation. Some form/s of this multicultural, multinational, tapestry can formally return to power.
don't quite get this - 'It was a multicultural continent before its occupation'
@@clarerobertson4427 100s of languages spoken on the continent. I reckon that point alone is evidence of Multi culturalism. Indigenous Australians aren't just one homogenous group.
@@clarerobertson4427 Multiple aboriginal countries that aren't the same and speak different languages
@@sambros2 you be moron - the phrase 'before it's occupation' implies it was NOT OCCUPIED before OCCUPATION
@@clarerobertson4427 Now now… no need to call Sam names… especially when Sam is correct. Do yourself a favour, and listen, rather than jumping in and trying to correct someone when you don’t really know what you’re talking about. It just makes you look ignorant and petty minded. I believe you misinterpreted or misunderstood the actual definition of the word occupation. It does not mean that before occupation that the country was completely empty of people. That is not what the definition of occupation is.
I love you Paul please come back.
I personally show a love for another paul who was an inspiration to me through school but i guess that Paul was alright for the country. Still rank William McMahon over him as best PM.
KATHERINE SPARKES then you’ll have no job cause LABOUR can’t run a Chook Raffle or a Strip Show look at past history
Angelo Lekopoulos on what grounds
Tough Love The movie, My Story. Really you hypocrite ScoMo the Ultimate Piece of Shit shut us down for 10 people and sent Apache helicopters with SAS ready to do there commando roles to stop a family barbecue. That system of politics you support. Well I think your brain needs to be looked at.
Tough Love The movie, My Story. Self Righteous Conservatives been in power in the last 19/25 years what have they achieved. That’s my response. They’ve sent us to slavery
3:56 thank god someone said it, the audience is damn noisy
Well, they weren't there to hear the whitefellas. It was a black gathering at which they expected nothing more than a few patronising words.
Speech was actually delivered in December 1992
What a HEROE!!! God bless you Paul, from white Australian, Caroline xxxooo
Now this is why i'm proud to be Australian.

Paul Keating’s Redfern speech addressed the impact of white settlement, which caused death and destruction on the indigenous culture, people and society. The speech delivered was undoubtedly one of the most powerful speeches delivered in Australian history.
Keating’s speech also addressed the fact that diseases and alcohol was brought into the country all those years ago. Keating also mentioned that white settlers also practiced discrimination, exclusion, murder and that children were taken away from their families. Paul acknowledges and recognises the richness and diversity of aboriginal, Torres strait islander culture, he imagines a brighter future with diversity and respect. The film acknowledges that it will be a test to move forward and leave their history in the past, even though horrible things happened. The film has an incredibly serious yet genuine message which was conveyed across to the wider public as a high level of transparency was conveyed.
The film touches on quite a few touchy subjects, which would have been incredibly hard to deliver, but all was done for the greater good and to bring equality. Paul has a vision of a greater future where both white and aboriginal people can live in peace and harmony.
Paul does a great job at delivering such a difficult subject across even as a man in the audience yells out “get out of my country”!
Many aboriginal people made an appearance to listen to Paul Keating’s speech at Redfern
Paul believes that Australia is beginning to see through aboriginal eyes and has hope for a brighter future where aboriginal culture and society is maintained.
I rate this film 3 out of 5 stars.
5 out of 5 and then 3.5 years later they voted for the Rubbish Howard. Destroyed Indigenous reconciliation. This was the apology, Howard should’ve been left in the dust bin of history.
I wonder who the ex PM was that senator Heffernan mentioned in parliament?
Any guesses?
What an amazing speech!
May 2021 - I don't think anything has really changed and in some areas is much worse. :(
Is there an equivalent speech to this in Canadian/New Zealand/US history?
+david552 What about the I have a dream speech
The mob mentality speech has to be up there bud.
What a lovely speech..unfortunately actions speak louder than words "Australia"
Right as usual
They Were There First And Should Be Treated As First Class
That's not an option anymore
Anyone wanna do my homework on this speech?
yo who out here doing there history assessment
Dyar Jasim dyar wtf
paul
I thought I saw a video like this on you tube, where he announces that ABORIGINES OWN AUSTRALIA !
As a white, young, female Australian, this touches my heart. All the hard ship that the Australian Aboriginals had and have to go through is horrible. And this apology was needed very much. Thank you Prime Minister Paul Keating. Australian Aboriginals are the back bone of this country. The aboriginals never deserved the pain, I hope this apology helps build a better nation for Australia. I hope for a better cultural and accepting country. I'm so sorry aboriginal people.
Yes, very nicely said. God Bless your beautiful soul - Hail Islam
Sassy Gerard is back i totally agree with the points you made however i believe that in reality this speech didnt do anything to change the problems in Australia. I believe that Kevin Rudd did a lot more regarding the past experiences of the Aboriginals.
Ill shove the balsa stick up you A*s fool, this is not a joke, for any further enquiries contact me - 000. Hail Buddha
Pretty good
Why is everybody laughing
Old mate in the crowd losing it.... I wanna hear his plan
did anyone notice that he cant pronounce dispossessed
Yes, how observant of you. He pronounces dispossessed as des-possessed. Very strange - perhaps you should be the Prime Minister
Yes thankyou, i am looking into studying law at ACU North Sydney and hope that this helps me to become a politician and maybe even PM one day.
He was razor sharp and brilliant, pure comedy in parliament. To deliver his razor sharp wit in parliament showed a natural intelligence, a true ability to connect information quickly and laterally, way beyond others. This is what great intelligent people do. Let’s focus on this, not on how he mispronounced one word 🤦🏾♀️ It was a great speech
Says it fine at 16:17
i have not understood a single thing even after watching this 3 times
You know the reason… as does everybody else reading your comment.
Not as engaging as Rudd’s speech as it did not seem as sincere. It was harder to understand, and his points were more convoluted than Rudd’s. The older camera quality and sound quality also make it less engaging. There is also quite a lot of chatter in the background. Despite this, the concept of forming a unified Australia is very solid. This speech highlights the way in which European Australians failed to see the wrongs in their ways. This speech served as a precursor for Kevin Rudd’s national apology in 2008. Keating proclaims “imagine the Aboriginal view, it can’t be too hard” but it is a pain and suffering that they lived through, imagination does it no justice. Nevertheless, his goals for the future paved the way for reconciliation.
Thank you, you just helped me in my assignment
I thought Rudd's was hollow, just as it seemed like an opportunity was lost as we endured the Howard era and things like the Cronulla riot. It seemed like we would go on to better things around the Hawke Keating era, but were snapped back to an awful reality with the Howard years.
Despite its truism and my profound agreeance with it, I found this speech very dispassionate. Reading the words, which I have done over 30 years, has been inspiring. But the delivery was lacklustre. I suspect PJK has not even pre-read it. Quite frankly, I think it has been romanticised beyond reality and significance.
Its author, Don Watson, said he thought it was rather an unexceptional admission, speech. He was surprised it got such media coverage and reaction. Subsequently, it just got attacked -- not implemented.
Despite its originality of utterance, it was NOT a turning point for change in the political status quo. Unfortunately it turned out to be just political hot air in ALL successive governments. Sad and shameful.
Watson might have been surprised at the reaction, but Keating certainly wouldn’t have been. He would have known what was coming. I wonder if that’s the reason for his lacklustre delivery- maybe we were witnessing something rather rare: a nervous PJK.
@@kathyheyne6030
Yeah, the History Wars was always in the political offing. I meant the essential apology was actually fruitless in terms of real parliamentary action.
Kowtow to tribal life long passed.
This guy really rambles on
