Mr Keating accused security agencies including ASIO and ASIS of running Australia's foreign policy and called for Bill Shorten to"clean them out" if he wins the election."They've lost their strategic bearings, these organisations."
Mr Keating, who has been appointed to the international advisory council for the China Development Bank, warned Australia was putting at risk its relationship with its largest trading partner. "You know, China, whatever you think, China is a great state. It's always been a great state and now has the second-largest economy, soon the largest economy in the world," he said.He also took particular aim at former, who became an adviser to Malcolm Turnbull and helped to write a classified report for ASIO on Chinese influence in Australia.
"Once that Garnaut guy came back from China and Turnbull gave him the ticket to go and hop into the security agencies, they've all gone berko ever since," Mr Keating said.
Keating is right. History proves he is right. If he wasnt, we’d all be speaking Mandarin right now.
keatings right: china's weak legitimacy means the govt could be toppled by a recession; therefore it is in our strategic interest to promote trade / business with china rather than seeing it as a threat or criticising it over human rights, which would only hurt us ECONOMICALLY
We should all listen when Paul Keating speaks but not this time, China is an imminent threat and Australia needs other markets and nuclear power. Australian should avoid a Neville Chamberlin approach to China.
Talk about nutters - The labor campaign brought together 4 nutters: Keating too old to remember anything, Gillard who was stabbed in the back by Shorten, Rudd who was also stabbed in the back by Shorten and Shorten who wants to stab all Australians in the back if he wins.
He said no such thing for starters and their was a lot of very interesting and informative stuff there that you could have chosen to highlight. And who has accused Keating and if they have who cares!!!
'When you have got the ASIO chief knocking on MPs' doors, you know something's wrong'. And perfectly sane and correct in saying so. Such a shame the main thing the author took away from Keating's interview was an LNP shill tank's hollow attempt at besmirching him🙄
Tick Tock is ageing considerably with obvious signs of early onset on its way😢😢
yep , bit out of step there id say , China , Massively Dangerous , much the same as America when you think SaudiArabia is up to with all the arms sold to them over the years . Saudi ranked No 4 in the World for Arms buying Apparently . sooner their Oil run s out the better
The nutter carries coal in his hand. Surely with all his religious learnings re: Xmas, coal means you are naughty
Senator_Assange Geez isn’t Trump dominating a lot of brains.
. You know something is wrong when Keating is right. Fake news is real - mainstream news us fake not just social media. Fake intel is also real - from WMDs to NK. Senator Wilkie resigned from his intel position because of fake intel. We are changing laws based on fake intel.
One of Labors geriatric social suicide bombers, they don't care what they do or say anymore so long as they can do as much damage as possible to anyone that is not part of their little socialist power clique.
Naturally, TheirABC would see that as a bad thing.
We know who the nutter is!
That is a bit rich. Spin spin spin. Labor Labor Labor Labor Labor. ...and the distortion continues....
Oh Keating is Keating
All Politicians are 'narcissistic', 'Leadership Challengers'. Even those having inappropriate breaks from reality.
What he said (in his usual entertaining way) was since the advent of Duttons Gestapo our security agencies have been compromised, not by foreign influence, but by the Libtards corruption. Maybe he went over the heads of Murdoch bought Journos, wouldn’t be the first time Auspol
Ex-PM shilling for communist China. Nothing to see here, move on.
He would say that - the Chinese are hardly interested in hacking a pig farm! 😁
Bloke was always clueless in foreign affairs.
Australian foreign policy 'experts' have always followed the lead from firstly London then Washington. No concept of national interest only of being in the Anglo intelligence club
Not the most helpful intervention by Keating, especially after his fossil fuel/fossil PM line about ScottMorrisonMP

Biden is going 'right after Trump' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Obama White House staffer Bruce Wolpe says former Vice President Joe Biden is distinguishing himself from his Democratic colleagues by challenging President Donald Trump's 'moral authority.'\n\nWhile announcing his long-anticipated candidacy to become the Democratic presidential challenger to Mr Trump , Mr Biden said the 2020 election will be a battle 'for the soul of this nation.'\n\nMr Wolpe told Sky News this differentiates the former Vice President from candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, both of whom are campaigning hard on left-wing policies rather than targeting President Trump.\n\n\n camstewarttheoz As usual Aust media try to manipulate President Trumps message. Trump is correct, the failings and corruption of Obama (along with much worse, which will come out soon) gave rise to a malcontented country that voted in an outsider to give power back to the ppl SheepNoMore camstewarttheoz Biden only had about 150 people at his 'rally' in total. That's less people that stand in line at a Trump rally waiting to use the 'rest room'.

Donald Trump is right to be worried about his Twitter numbers — here's whyLast week Donald Trump met with Twitter's chief executive to reportedly vent about losing followers. But that isn't the figure the President should really be worrying about. I think the importance of the interaction metric is being blindly given too much weight here. There is a democrat pre-selection looming, so naturally there is more interaction with tweets. Interaction is not all positive either, so much of it is troll/opposition. Stop. Writing. Rubbish Pure bollocks from theirABC.

Roughly the same as the race baiting scum at SBS published in the last month Hahaha, you lefty cheerleaders don't care about lies. The media lied about Russian collusion day in day out for two years. And you clowns parroted it all. You pretend to only care when someone you disagree with lies. Hypocrites. BEST PRESIDENT EVER. Australia needs one just like him. The American economy is going gangbusters; record unemployment. No number of pathetic, useless, rubbish reports from the leftists media can change that!
