Treasurer Keating was on the 10-week campaign trail in the run-up to the December 1984 Federal Election. He was visiting Perth and promoting deregulation of the banking system.
This has an element of public humiliation – I was a journalism student but not a TV journo. I was very sing-songy and totally inexperienced. Am the one with crimped ginger hair – it *was* the 80s!
After the interview he sincerely asked us what we thought the ALP’s chances were of winning the election and how their campaign was going.

He is much nicer when dealing with young people. Also the journalists were polite! It must have made his day.
