Paul Keating Pins and Buttons
Main Tag:
Description: This one celebrates Paul Keating—Australia’s greatest post-war Prime Minister and a true believer with a tongue like a whip. Quick with a quip and quicker with conviction, Keating didn’t just lead—he challenged, provoked, and inspired. In December 1992, he delivered the now-iconic Redfern Speech, a bold and unflinching moment that marked a turning point in Australia’s reckoning with its treatment of First Nations people. With raw honesty, he called on white Australians to face the truth of our shared history. Born in Bankstown and built tough, Keating’s working-class roots gave him the grit—and the heart—to shape a more just and inclusive nation.
