Part 4

Overview

Part Four charts the politically risky ride of the Keating Prime Ministership-- building the road to an Australian Republic, repointing the continent to Asia, delivering the Redfern Speech, embracing Mabo, introducing compulsory superannuation and blowing budget surpluses to climb out of recession. Keating wins the unwinnable election and sees off two Opposition Leaders, Hewson and Downer, only to be brought down by a third.
