True bravery. This bloke instead of going to the queens palace and the white house every year, he went to redfern, the unofficial capital of dispossed aboriginal people. And even though you can hear people yelling at him and telling him to get out of their country, and he went up there knowing his kin had stolen the land and knowing that this speech was gonna be an absolute mess, he confronted the people and the sins and acknowledged everything and promised to do better and he did. He may not have been the pm everyone wanted, but jesus fuck was he the bloke we needed and still need that type of bloke today.

What did we vote for in 1996.

Paul Keating’s 1992 speech is an excellent example of clear communication. Straightforward in his language and persuasive in his effect, Keating welcomes the 1993 Year of the World’s Indigenous People by speaking openly about the effects the arrival of non-Indigenous people to Australia had on the Indigenous inhabitants. Keating is compelling when reminding non-Indigenous Australians of the ‘opportunity and care’ provided to them and their ancestors by Australia, and inviting non-Indigenous Australians to ‘imagine ourselves’ in the situations forced upon Aboriginal Australians as a result of colonisation. The situating of non-Aboriginal Australians as a people who enjoy an embarrassment of riches in the opportunities offered to them in this country, while being culpable for the wrongs done to Aboriginal people, creates a strong sense of injustice on the behalf of Aboriginal Australians. On this note, the speech turns towards the positive developments of the Mabo decision and the formation of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander run organisations. Redfern Park, the venue of the speech, is near The Block, a collection of housing for Aboriginal people owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company since 1972. Choosing to deliver his speech in a community space easily accessible to Aboriginal residents of Redfern earns Keating a star, as does persevering through some shouting from the crowd, one of whom seemed to be saying ‘get out of our country!’. However, the fact that this speech took place in 1992, with little improvement to some markers of ‘justice’ and ‘equity’ chosen by Keating such as health prospects and outcomes for Aboriginal people, means that this speech’s three and a half star rating is for style rather than impact.

For the Indigenous population, this speech signified a step towards equity whereby years of brutality and inhumane slaughter inflicted on their people was finally bought into light. While the trauma of the experience was not lessened by an apology, it signifies their willingness to reconcile. The applause Keating received in response to his speech signifies the communal agreement to reside in Australia as equals.

250 documented massacres between 1788- 1928 that account for about 4,000 innocent Aboriginal people. Men. Women. Children. The men who committed these crimes against humanity belong in the same basket as Brenton Tarrant. There’s no difference. The average Australian feels the same way about the former historical crimes as they do about the latter. They were committed by criminally minded individuals on a frontier beyond British law by individuals that believed they could get away with their crimes because of that reality. Most did. A handful were tried and hung. As they deserved to be.

In my view, one of - if not the - greatest speech(es) by an Australian prime minister.

Paul Keating’s Redfern speech addressed the impact of white settlement, which caused death and destruction on the indigenous culture, people and society. The speech delivered was undoubtedly one of the most powerful speeches delivered in Australian history. Keating’s speech also addressed the fact that diseases and alcohol was brought into the country all those years ago. Keating also mentioned that white settlers also practiced discrimination, exclusion, murder and that children were taken away from their families. Paul acknowledges and recognises the richness and diversity of aboriginal, Torres strait islander culture, he imagines a brighter future with diversity and respect. The film acknowledges that it will be a test to move forward and leave their history in the past, even though horrible things happened. The film has an incredibly serious yet genuine message which was conveyed across to the wider public as a high level of transparency was conveyed. The film touches on quite a few touchy subjects, which would have been incredibly hard to deliver, but all was done for the greater good and to bring equality. Paul has a vision of a greater future where both white and aboriginal people can live in peace and harmony. Paul does a great job at delivering such a difficult subject across even as a man in the audience yells out “get out of my country”! Many aboriginal people made an appearance to listen to Paul Keating’s speech at Redfern Paul believes that Australia is beginning to see through aboriginal eyes and has hope for a brighter future where aboriginal culture and society is maintained. I rate this film 3 out of 5 stars.

Not as engaging as Rudd’s speech as it did not seem as sincere. It was harder to understand, and his points were more convoluted than Rudd’s. The older camera quality and sound quality also make it less engaging. There is also quite a lot of chatter in the background. Despite this, the concept of forming a unified Australia is very solid. This speech highlights the way in which European Australians failed to see the wrongs in their ways. This speech served as a precursor for Kevin Rudd’s national apology in 2008. Keating proclaims “imagine the Aboriginal view, it can’t be too hard” but it is a pain and suffering that they lived through, imagination does it no justice. Nevertheless, his goals for the future paved the way for reconciliation.

Despite its truism and my profound agreeance with it, I found this speech very dispassionate. Reading the words, which I have done over 30 years, has been inspiring. But the delivery was lacklustre. I suspect PJK has not even pre-read it. Quite frankly, I think it has been romanticised beyond reality and significance. Its author, Don Watson, said he thought it was rather an unexceptional admission, speech. He was surprised it got such media coverage and reaction. Subsequently, it just got attacked -- not implemented. Despite its originality of utterance, it was NOT a turning point for change in the political status quo. Unfortunately it turned out to be just political hot air in ALL successive governments. Sad and shameful.
