The other day I read an article in the West Australian about how a mining tax would be terrible for the economy. And who did they interview? Gina Rhinehart. Nobody else. What an absolute joke. To think these "journalists" seriously think they're doing a public service.
What did Paul Keating's mentor Jack Lang say to him? Always back self-interest. It's always the best horse in the race. Once you identify what someone's self-interest is, you can predict what they're going to say and what they're going to do.
That's why I've never understood the shortage of toilet paper on supermarket shelves when a Covid outbreak's announced. The West Australian's cheaper and more available. It's not as absorbent either for reading and or cleaning but does the job as toilet paper.
The Australian was still a half-decent newspaper back in the '90s. It was orbiting Rupert's ideological arsehole but there was still enough serious journalism to make it worth reading. It's since lost all credibility, of course.
Yep, still plenty of "gimmicky questions" from all sorts of journos in all sorts of media. Bravo Paul. Call it out EVERY TIME. "Gimmicky questions" -- such a great meme.
Any more ''gimmicky'' than the ''Recession we had to have''? Outside of the Wages Accord, Compulsory Superannuation is the the biggest rort ever foisted upon the Working Class. But then one thinks of the Deregulation of the Banking and Finance sector and the offloading of the CBA and the options grow. I'm ex CFMEU and Shop Steward so forget about any tarring me with a ''Conservative Stooge'' brush. Fuck Keating and fuck Hawke. Sold their souls, then sold us all out.
The West Australian newspaper has further declined in 2019. Very thin paper with very little news content. With their tie up with Murdoch's Sunday Times, the West Australian has become a newscorp wanabe. Right wing opinion writers straight from the Murdoch stable, no balancing left opinions and selective news reporting for the little news they report. It really is a crappy paper. Thank god for the internet.
Agreed, and since it can hardly be classed as a 'NEWS paper' these days, it should be called 'The West Sport & Advertising Paper', since that's the majority of it's content now. Talk about dismal when the front page and half the second (or inside 'front page'), are Harvey Norman marketing material. Only worth lining my bird cages with now!
I don't thank god for the internet, I still wish print newspapers were pre-eminent (I much prefer reading from paper), but I suspose the decline of the newspaper was linked to the complete domination of newspapers by Murdoch. One can easily see why with the garbage that is printed newspapers have fallen off badly.
The old ones don't have to worry about new politicians taking over because the young people simply aren't interested in spending all the time to become politicians they just want to play games
Bet old Randall puts that on his resume each time he applies for a job. He still checks his mailbox daily for new of his being conferred the Pulitzer prize for journalism.
Waffle. The Liberal Party would never, ever have introduced Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, the Family Benefits scheme, the Prices and Incomes Accord, bring Superannuation to ordinary working people, completely revamp the TAFE sytem and access to a University education - not to mention the huge increase in the number of students having 12 years of education (35 to 77%), tried to introduce a Republic, the Sex Discrimination Act, dealt fairly with the High Court's Marbo decision, the creation of APEC, Gareth Evans leading the charge to bring peace to Cambodia, never mind it's various enviromental achievements (eg Queensland Tropics World Heritage listed, Antartica).
@@dratz50 But noooo - Because Paul Keating did SOME right wing policies purely because he prioritised PRACTICALITY over ideology, he must be a liberal!
What a stupid way of looking at if he wants to do that job he should be prepared to take whatever happens I've yet to see a journalist who cares about us
The worlds greatest Treasurer, we copped the recession we needed to have in Australia that interest rates for business was 22-1/2 % that he only made the Banks shareholders more money, and precious little for ATO John Howard got us back in the black and we have lost all that and back in the red we go.
It is. It’s dreadfully boring. It’s full of people who work, pay taxes and spend their free time volunteering to help others. You’ll hate it, best keep well away!
@@scumofrommarketing3994 I wouldn't call ScoMo the worst ever. I think Gillard was worse given her waste of money education spending (knocking down 15 year old school buildings and putting new ones up at 5 times the original cost, billions on worthless tech from useless contractors, etc.) during a global financial crisis.
The fact that other journalist clapped and cheered must have hurt more then Keating's words
Hasn't changed, still a cesspit of a newspaper
Why because it points out high unemployment rates which always affect west Australia more?

You could literally see Randall's soul leave his body after that.
...wait, he had one to start with?
The sting at the end is the Keating signature. Love it
I don't agree with PJK on this one. The Australian is the worst newspaper in Australia. The West Australian is pretty close behind though.
@Horizon585 So you want propaganda sky news
@@darylephillips6778 The worst news paper is the Courier Mail, it’s the same propaganda as Sky News
@@darylephillips6778 not necessarily, I also really dislike the ABC these days, but I hate the Murdoch and Costello media

Keating,a man of talent.
Paul's words ringing out extra loud after that 4 Corners Exposé on their shitty behaviour. lmao
I wouldn't even wipe my arse with the West Australian newspaper.
Yeah, same. But if they ever publish a _double-ply_ edition I’d reconsider
The West Australian certainly is one of the lowest newspapers and I am from Western Australia .
I couldn't see Morrison or Abbott answering a question like that so capably
Abbott once answered a question by standing there silently for 30 seconds while shaking like he had palsy. The man was a meathead

A bean counter with a sense of humour.
THE WEST AUST NEWSPAPER DESTROYS PEOPLES REPUTATIONS!!
That's not a nice thing to call Randal!
I think that's something the modern Australians don't understand we were very intelligent people even if we were laricans
The West Australian does an excellent job - keeping West Australians distracted, misinformed, uniformed and unaware.
West Aussie here. Most of us think it's shit too.
One thing all politicians can agree on, is their pay rises.
What is Larry Bird doing at the National Press Club?
He wasn’t wrong, WA has long had a terrible press and it’s even worse now than it was back then
One of the great Prime Ministers produced this country, unfortunately we haven't seen great leadership recently.
The old ones don't have to worry about new politicians taking over because the young people simply aren't interested in spending all the time to become politicians they just want to play games
he wasnt wrong, it was a pile of garbage, it's still a pile of garbage
Paul is GOD...pure and simple.
Bet old Randall puts that on his resume each time he applies for a job. He still checks his mailbox daily for new of his being conferred the Pulitzer prize for journalism.
As a Western Australian, I agree 100% with Keating. 😂
Larry Bird got owned.
Not many punters will get the reference, but I did. Touche.
And nothing has changed.
Still is
Ahh, the Miners’ Weekly taking the L as usual
And he was right.
The best liberal party pm the Labour party ever produced
True

Cop a bit of that bro
Loool!!!
Larry Bird over there
This is pretty funny given that The West Australian is now a very pro-Labor paper
It is? Or is it 'cos the Libs are so appallingly bad at their craft (like The West Australian) there's no other WA party to write about?
He always was highly over-rated....so too the newspaper!
So the worst newspaper in Australia is now owner by the largest tv conglomerate in the country aka Channel 7
Channel 7 is part of SevenWest Media, and both it and the West Australian are owned by a horrible, narcissistic conservative sociopath, Kerry Stokes.
poor dude was just doing his job
Whatever that means.
Asking stupid gimmicky questions?
What a stupid way of looking at if he wants to do that job he should be prepared to take whatever happens I've yet to see a journalist who cares about us
And that's why PK held an interest in a piggery.......oink, oink get your snout in and slop away ex.PM Keating....
Know you are on the right track when Keating says you are wrong.
We call him the worst PM Australia ever had.
The worlds greatest Treasurer, we copped the recession we needed to have in Australia that interest rates for business was 22-1/2 % that he only made the Banks shareholders more money, and precious little for ATO
John Howard got us back in the black and we have lost all that and back in the red we go.
John Howard has a fire sale of publicly owned assets, that’s not an economy back on track, it’s an economy off the rails
Keating is still a shit too. One term wonder.
He was Treasurer or PM from 83 to 96, hardly a one hit wonder and you’ve got him to thank for your super.
Australia seems like a very boring place.
It is. It’s dreadfully boring. It’s full of people who work, pay taxes and spend their free time volunteering to help others. You’ll hate it, best keep well away!
@@helixator3975 classic.
From the worst prime minister ever
And you’re the worst insignificant.

So where does that leave Tony Abbott?
