Keating on Former Leader of the Opposition, John Hewson:
(His performance) is like being flogged with a warm lettuce leaf.
I have a psychological hold over Hewson...He's like a stone statue in the cemetery.
On Former Leader of the Opposition, Andrew Peacock
"I suppose that the Honourable Gentleman's hair, like his intellect, will recede into the darkness."
"I was nearly chloroformed by the performance of the Honourable Member for Mackellar. It nearly put me right out for the afternoon."
On John Howard
"What we have got is a dead carcass, swinging in the breeze, but nobody will cut it down to replace him."
On the press
"You (Richard Carleton) had an important place in Australian society on the ABC and you gave it up to be a pop star...with a big cheque...and now you're on to this sort of stuff. That shows what a 24 carat pissant you are, Richard, that's for sure"
Reporter: How long is it since you've been to Fyshwick Markets ? Keating: "Not long, not long. In fact if you get down to woollies at Manuka on Saturday I'd probably run over you with a trolley as I did a journo recently."
On former Prime Minister Bob Hawke
"Now listen mate," [to John Browne, Minister of Sport, who was proposing a 110 per cent tax deduction for contributions to a Sports Foundation] "you're not getting 110 per cent. You can forget it. This is a fucking Boulevard Hotel special, this is. The trouble is we are dealing with a sports junkie here [gesturing towards Bob Hawke]. I go out for a piss and they pull this one on me. Well that's the last time I leave you two alone. From now on, I'm sticking to you two like shit to a blanket.
On Former Labour politician, Jim McClelland:
"That you Jim? Paul Keating here. Just because you swallowed a fucking dictionary when you were about 15 doesn't give you the right to pour a bucket of shit over the rest of us."
