Australia's Economy: Keating's Harsh Words Resurface
Learn why Paul Keating warned Australia about the economy in 1986 and how it relates to the current financial challenges facing the country today.

On May 14, 1986, Paul Keating said Australia risked becoming a 'banana republic' due to debt. This warning is being discussed again in 2026 as leaders look for ways to fix the current economy.

The original superannuation plan from Paul Keating was meant to provide a secure retirement savings system for working Australians — not become a loophole for inter-generational wealth passing tax-free. But over time the scheme has been hijacked: generous tax breaks and inheritance rules mean many wealthy people end up passing on super to their children with minimal tax.
Now foreign leaders like Donald Trump are praising Australia’s super system as “a good plan” — but they seem to be admiring something that departed long ago from Keating’s original vision.
If super is meant to provide a fair pension safety net, it shouldn’t end up reinforcing inequality by turning into a wealth-transfer machine for the rich. -

#PaulKeating was no #GoughWhitlam but #AnthonyAlbanese isn't much of anything. I hope that #JimChalmers can be better than #Keating

Agreed — Chalmers feels like the only one with a hint of reformist ambition left in Labor. He studied Keating closely, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll prove to be the next Keating — our last real hope for a bolder Australia.

On 15 March 2023, former Prime Minister Paul Keating took on Australia’s most powerful journalists over the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal — and won.
They came armed with a pro-American agenda, ready to silence the one senior statesman willing to question it. Instead, Keating dismantled their arguments with facts, wit and precision.
This wasn’t just a press conference. It was a brutal exposé of how far sections of Australia’s media have drifted from serving the public to serving foreign interests.#australia #usa #china #british #geopolitics #mediabias #uschinarelations #aukus #foreignpolicy #paulkeating #auspol

Australia’s past economic “golden ages” show how bold reforms drove growth, but policymakers now face the challenge of boosting productivity and preparing the nation for a more competitive global environment. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/16/world/australias-third-golden-age/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #australia #australianeconomy #paulkeating #andrewhauser #reservebankofaustralia #bobhawke

#PaulKeating says the #AUKUS review by the #US “might very well be the moment Washington saves #Australia from itself.”
In a strongly worded statement, Keating says the review should save Australia “from the most poorly conceived defence procurement program ever adopted by an Australian government”.

Hey #PaulKeating, I've been harsh on your #NeoLiberalism, suits and French clock-collecting.But am impressed by your thoughts around who should get an OA (or CA).
There is a petition which would impose a non-CA status on a certain #ScottMorrison, former PM.

Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.
Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.
The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."
Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.

#PaulKeating envisaged a #superannuation system which funded the aged in retirement. It has turned into a giant #tax shelter where wealth is captured and passed on to descendants, and where falling home ownership was not factored in. #ausecon

March 13, 1992 – Australian climate advocates in Commission for the Future try to get government to see sense… on #Energyefficiency measures (Fail, obviously)
Report said that energy efficiency would at least allow a breakeven for Australia hitting the #TorontoTarget (Major nations stabilising emissions at 1988 levels by 2000, and reduce them by 20% by 2005.)
Labor's "Paul Keating had become prime minister in December 1991, and had made sure that all of the previous (Hawke) administration’s environment policies were buried in 17 committees and left to rot. And this was among them."
