Paul Keating is right, page-94

i never want it happen to anyone mate and I am really sorry if my analogy hurt you. but what i am implied was that just because a country is strong does not mean we have to jump their bandwagon. I agree trade is beneficial to all involved if it is a fair trade. But if trade with China or any other country means we import their finished goods and are only allowed to export raw materials which they will manufacture and send back to us then I would rather have a protectionist economy.
That way we will have atleast more jobs and better products.
