WHEN did Paul Keating, pictured, become an apologist for the Chinese Communist Party? I have always respected Mr Keating for his convictions for "socialism lite" and Aussie egalitarianism; even when my wife and I were paying 17 per cent interest on our home loan. However, on the issue of the AUKAS submarine project, I think Mr Keating has got it dead wrong.
Do we really have to wait until there is a flotilla of Chinese ships attacking Australia before we accept that China is a threat to Australian freedom and sovereignty? Come on, Paul; the world has changed dramatically and not for the better in the last 30 years. It's past time to pull your head in and look at the reality of the current situation.
