So, former Prime Minister, Paul Keating, has decided to get with the strength & support the view of over 70% of Australians, who contend that our foreign policy is too closely aligned with that of the United States?

Of course, whilst ready to stand in judgement of former Prime Ministers Howard & Rudd, & our current Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, for their fatuous & demeaning support of the policies of our US playpal, notwithstanding strong & consistent public opinion to the contrary, the great one himself was arguably just as ready to lift our skirts in his pursuit of a new Asian favourite in his day.

Notwithstanding ‘chewy’s’ view, many would argue that Australia has not enjoyed the services of a true national leader, willing to pursue our national interests above all else, since Gough Whitlam.

Maybe it’s time we looked for a Kiwi to help us do that too?
