Keating is still our royal fool
Apr 2nd, 2018 at 5:51pm
 
Jeez this clown can't stay out of the limelight and will say anything moronic thing to be heard. He became irrelevant 20 years ago, now it is time to do what all good ex-PMs do, shut up and take the money.



Former prime ministers Paul Keating and Tony Abbott have clashed over what Prince Charles may or may not think about Australia ditching the monarchy.
On the eve of the Commonwealth Games Mr Keating has claimed the heir to the British throne supports Australia becoming a republic and would welcome not having to "pretend" one day to be the country's head of state.
Former prime minister Paul Keating says he believes Prince Charles supports Australia becoming a republic.
Former prime minister Paul Keating says he believes Prince Charles supports Australia becoming a republic.

But the former Labor leader's comments have angered monarchist Mr Abbott, who has suggested it's not true.
"Prince Charles would just want to do his duty and he shouldn't be verballed by an ex-PM," the former Liberal prime minister and now right-wing backbencher posted on Twitter.
Another senior right-wing Liberal, Eric Abetz, also rounded on Mr Keating, accusing him of mounting "self-serving and egotistical" arguments for a republic.

"Mr Keating's musings clearly have no basis in fact and are just a sad feature of the latest Republican push," the Tasmanian senator said in a statement.
Mr Keating advocated for a republic when he led the country and used an opinion piece in London's The Sunday Times to again make that argument.

Exactly, and who cares what a waste of space like Abbott thinks. He dragged this country ten years backwards in the two years he was PM and should be deported back to his home country now.

Care factor zero

My favourite Paul Keating story was when I was at the Domestic Terminal as Mascot one day and a crowd of media were waiting at the arrivals lounge

Out walked Keating and he scowled at the Media but no need to

They were there for someone far more relevant than that has been

Wish I could have taken a shot of his shocked expression as he walked away without anyone paying him a skerrick of attention Grin

the reason prince charles is encouraging this is because everything is privatized now , the front companies of the queen ( the road toll companies, ports , rail , energy water companies all front companies of the queen ) are all operational and in place ..

what of all the crown land *

the 'republic' would have to buy it all wouldn't they ?

its just business you landless peasants

I was there that day too. I thought to myself who the assembled media was waiting on to interview. The look on Keating's face was one of astonishment as the media rushed towards....Anthony Abbott. Boy was Keating pi$$ed.

You mean like the time when Keating was treasurer but didn't put in his tax return. Now there's real intelligence for you.

So what you are saying is that if you are a multi-millionaire and have better things to do than completing your tax returns on time, it's all well and good.


Is it one rule for the rich or do rich socialist only get special treatment that the rest of us do not?

Is that a crime?

Because not filling out a tax return for a few years is.
