I was just listening to an interview with former Labor Australian PM Paul Keating, and I found it very interesting for a different look on the economic growth in Australia.

Yeah, I watched that interview when it went to air a month ago or whenever. Obviously didn't really do much to directly help the ALP; I would have preferred him to take his criticisms directly to Gillard and co. rather than wander off to Lateline but he is free to do so. I think he made some good points but he sounded more interested in defending his actions while in government (with and without Hawke). Somebody needs to tell him we KNOW that he doesn't think the recession was his fault, because he always seems to be bitching about it (not that I have any idea whether it was or was not his fault directly or indirectly).
But yes, infringing on worker's rights to making a collective bargaining agreement with their employer is terrible and all that.
And what was up with the title- "Australia's Greatest Prime Minister Part 3"? That's a new one.
