On Late Night Live tonight. Should be fascinating and great fun. Paul K sat at Lang’s feet when young drawing the big fella out.
I’m not a big fan of Paul Keating as PM. But he was a great Treasurer, and he’s great to listen to. He’ll discuss Lang with Phillip Adams and historian Frank Cain.
Ah, the Big Fella. As a young man I saw him give a fiery speech against the Vietnam war when he was in his early 90s. I reckon PJK got his passion, as well as his knowledge of Machiavellian political technique, from his mentor. Didn’t do either of them any good in the end, though.
Sounds like something I will definitely be watching.
I travelled with the Big Fella on the steam train from Wentworthville to Auburn and remain awed by his presence. He was offended that so many voters failed to recognise his purpose and were taken in by Tubby Stevens lies. Kind regards. JSN
