Former Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating has delivered a blistering attack on a room full of journalists at the National Press Club, telling one reporter to “hang your head in shame” while labelling another’s question “dumb”.
Paul Keating has rejected the Greens' criticism that Labor adopted neoliberalism. Alex Bainbridge argues that Labor's policies on superannuation and Medicare are examples of user-pays systems that privilege the well-off.
For voicing concern about the implications of the increasingly naked US war preparations against China, Keating was accused of supporting alleged efforts by Beijing to take over the Indo-Pacific.
