Kerry O'Brien interviews one of Australia's most controversial political leaders
There's been no one quite like Paul Keating. Leaving school at age fourteen, he joined the Labor Party soon after, and thus began a remarkable and tumultuous forty-year journey into history as one of Australia's most significant and contentious political leaders. In this candid four-part interview series with Kerry O'Brien, Keating reveals the forces that shaped his ambitions, and the inside stories of perhaps the most intense and painful period of economic and social reform in Australian history, including the triumphs and the tears of his highly successful but explosive relationship with Bob Hawke. This unique series has many unforgettable moments. No other Prime Minister has revealed so much of themselves or their craft to the camera. Paul Keating lived by the sword and died by the sword, believing "we all get carried out in the end."
