Reply #17: You're right about Keating - so sad, really. [View All]

[Matilda]

He has intelligence, wit, and charisma, and he can still sock it to Howard. And I think somehwere there's even a soul. But he and Hawke modelled their style of government on Thatcher, and he forgot about the battlers while he courted big business. It was also Hawke and Keating who made it so easy for Murdoch to get control of the media, and it's hard to forgive him for that. I just wish there was somebody out there on the left who could hit Howard where it hurts,
because I don't think I can stand another four years of Howard. I think I might move to New Zealand.
