Well, Jimmy, what an interesting article.
I wonder whether you thought twice about posting it, as it certainly backs up your case against Keating, but also contains several inconvenient statements
Fists, it definitely strengthens your point about Keating's involvement in the floating of the dollar, although it has to be said that most of the reference material quoted is by Hawke and there's nothing from Keating. However. let's accept it and note that John Stone comes out of it exactly as dedja notes, totally wrong and a reactionary, conservative twit.
We also have to accept from the article that Hawke led a great, achieving government.
Not only that, but he inherited double-digit unemployment and a stuffed economy from the Fraser government
I wonder who Fraser's Treasurer was?
Surely not John Howard, or "Honest John' as he was then dubbed for his 'fistful of dollars' lie
As I said, interesting article, it certainly supports your case, though.
