(42 mins) "Losing the Unlosable"
Episode airing Monday 5 April 1993
Topped and tailed by Andrew Olle, this episode explores the 13 March 1993 election koss of John Hewson to Paul Keating.
The reporter is Frank McGuire.
We start hearing from Liberal part volunteer and stalwart Jeanette Farrell. How she put in the legwork, and didn't like the direction the party was going with the GST.
We hear from both sides of the ailse with extensive commentary by Michael Kroger, Jim Carlton, Andrew Robb, Petro Georgiou, Rob Hogg and Bob McMullen.
The clear reason for Hewson's loss was the GST he wanted to ntroduce as part of Fightback!
Keating took the line "if you don't understand for it, don't vpte for it", an ominous fore-runner to "of you don't know, vote no".
How Hewson lost is a tale Labor supporters can relish. Here it is in all its glory on Four Corners.
