Did Angus even have morals to begin with?
It’s so crazy how much effort people put into doing literally anything other than bringing population growth down to a rate commensurate with other developed nations. That’s so many words to say “endless 1.5%+ population growth PA is not up for debate no matter how much you peasants want to discuss lowering it”
They really will blame anything but themselves.
God I hate Paul Keating so much but he pops the fuck off at times
They’ve declined? Seems business as usual to me
Keating famously said that debating Hewson was like being “flogged with a warm lettuce”. Debating with Taylor must be like being flogged with room temperature candy floss.
Angus was the one who shut down refineries – with an objective to Americanise straya.
I can imagine just how insufferable he might be in person, but he just lays out the straight dope. Straight outta’ Potts Point.
It is weird to me that we see immigrant communities holding onto parts of their own culture as some kind of threat. Feels like what we did to the Aboriginals, just purely hateful shit. There’s no way these tiny immigrant communities somehow bulldoze over the existing Australian culture and replace it with their own. Does anyone really believe that? People will assimilate with the existing population much better if you stop villainising and attacking them and let them just find their own way to being part of the community. You don’t need to force that.
If Angus or Pauline could understand even half of the words in that, they’d be furious.
For all his faults, Keating has a way with words few others have.
If Angus and Pauline knew how to read they’d be very upset.
“The blight of Pauline Hanson is that her dumb bigotry offers a fantasy.” That’s it in a perfectly worded nutshell.
It’s crazy to watch the parallels play out in real time of the old school right fighting the populist right across multiple political environments. What we are seeing with One Nation and the Liberal Party is so similar to Reform UK and the Tories. It’s so odd.
PK is a legend.
Only Keating can send a message to the Nation that the liberals are Pauline Hanson in Drag.
I just can’t tear my eyes away from the formatting. Word 2003 lives!
(Did I read it? No. I DRANK IT IN.)
The title implies they had morals to begin with BAM
Paul Keating…..tax dodger.
Keating huffs his own farts I’m sure of it.
Fuck, wasted no words, very Keating
Keating does more to kick the shit out of the desperate and dateless LNP and PHON than many lately.
What a delightful read
Removing illegal people in our country is not racism.
Keating gets worse as the years go by. Seeing him lose the election was one of the sweetest moments of my political life. Back to obscurity Paul, you little twit.
He gives them too much credit. He specifically points out the LNP the party of Menzies, Turnbull etc. but we can’t forget it’s the party of Howard, Abbott, Morrison, Dutton.
The non racists parts are just the mask.
Keating bitches and moans every time I see him speak or read his words, good to see he’s bitching and moaning in the right direction.
Paul Keating who pimped out his daughter to epstein talking about moral decline LMAO
Keating, in my mind at least, has a towering intellect and regardless of partisan leaning he is worth listening to.
Agree or disagree with him personally or politically, but never not listen.
Political correctness wasn’t a thing in his glory days.
Calling out Johnny by his full name is Klassic Keating. I love how much he hates that guy. 🤣
Paul Keating is a larger-than-life figure owing in large part to his vaunted rhetorical powers. His line that Peter Costello was “all tip and no iceberg” remains one of my all-time favourites. Alas, Keating remains only mortal and it is not only the decline of the Liberal Party this is in evidence here. I can’t even parse that penultimate paragraph. So it goes.
tl;dr Angus Taylor is a thundercunt.
The most cynical thing is I don’t think the Liberals are even racist, this is all show to try and attract the politically disengaged One Nation swinging voters (who would tend to be racist).
You can tell their heart is not really in the game of solving any of the issues with immigration because if they were they’d be able to come up with a number for what they want net migration to be and a plan on how they’d get to it – but they won’t – because Liberal political interests are not actually interested in reducing or change anything about the immigration system in any great fashion.
Would create too many economic and social issues that would need directly addressing rather than just trying to paper over the cracks with huge immigration intake.
This is classic Liberal playbook when it comes to immigration. Tony was the same. Just create a racist diversion to *appear* like you will. Like they did with “boat people” all through the 2000’s and 2010’s.
Yeah, it’s certainly an interesting policy for the Libs to target non-white immigrants right at a time when we’re going to be replying heavily on our Asian neighbours to keep the supply of refined petroleum products going.
