Paul Keating is the biggest hypocrite of all time. He and Labor sold off the Commonwealth Bank that used to create money from nothing for some of our growth + inflation.

The Commonwealth bank plus the other big 3 are now 40% owned by JP Morgan, Citi Bank and HSBC. So most of the profits go OS. Our Govt is now totally enslaved by large corporate interests and we are their debt serfs.

This is why there is no money for infrastructure and public amenities.
