Late '80s I think. The expression was misread as advocating 'plain speaking' re: African-Americans.

I guess it wasn\'t always obvious because \'multiculturalism\' and \'reconciliation\' was able to speak to \'the soft left\' (what <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.ensayistas.org/critica/teoria/castro/Mabel.htm\" rel="nofollow">Mabel Moraña</a> calls \'la izquierda letrada\' - the lettered left!) AND \'the hard right\' ... certain \'national emergencies\' speak a bit less to the soft left and a bit more to the hard right? Adam - what was the MM incident?

The remark about 'If the economy keeps growing and unemployment falls ...' seems rather prescient for marking what seemed to be a turning point but, as the sketch makes clear, was not really so much. http://youtube.com/watch?v=g29sE23U8Es

Certain underlying continuities were never really challenged to begin with. Other things that have emerged post-Whitlam have been taken to their 'natural' conclusion under Howard.

And yes - agreed about the Keating fans. But I never understood why it wasn't always obvious - mandatory internment of undocumented migrants being introduced under Keating, not to mention the Native Title laws, which were crap before Howard ...

A passing reference to the Meaghan Morris incident?

In all seriousness, this is an important point. I’m sure it’s a real slap in the face to the pro-Keating crowd, as well.
