To the OP
I do remember the Liberals being rather sensitive to Paul Keatings Jokes.![]()
A good point CM.
Keating was a good Treasurer and PM. He brought Australia forward as his Labor predecessors never did. Hawke and Whitlam fade in to insignificance. And he was a fighter and gave as good if not better than he got. He would have made a good Liberal.
Howard started off slow, learned from his mistakes and will stand out as the best PM of his generation.
Subsequent PM's such as Rudd, Brown/Gillard are also rans, mere baubles on a burning Christmas Tree. They have said little of note, will not be remembered and have served their causes if they had any badly.
I would agree Keating had balls.
