Former prime minister Paul Keating speaks with Niki Savva about the dismissal of the Whitlam Labor government and the events that took place at Old Parliamen...
Are you from Canberra or the NT? Because if not, you have 13 members who represent you geographically in the federal Parliament alone.
I actually don’t have contempt for Keating as a whole. I shared this video because aside from the two points I mentioned here, I pretty much agree with everything he had to say. The dismissal may not have been unconstitutional, but it certainly was an abhorrent moral failing on the part of Kerr and especially Fraser. And our subsequent PMs have cosied up to the US too much (even if I don’t agree with Keating’s opinion—not mentioned in this interview, but elsewhere—that we should be much friendlier to China and side with their foreign policy interests).
That is why I added the “or more” as I thought there to be more but wasn’t motivated to look it up.
As for the contempt I as referring to Paul not yourself. I prefer less hierarchy not more so I agree with the concept of not having a senate but acknowledge it seems to be working mostly fine at the moment.
I watch that constitution professor from time to time because you posted her channel so time ago, thanks for that.
