It's just the latest public comment in the long line of brutal honesty and cynical realism that is Paul Keating's autobiography. Need hard evidence? Watch and learn children. The shade.

That time he compared the prime minister to a pile of rubbish.

Or that time he compared another prime minister to a popular cooking ingredient.

When he called a former treasurer of Australian government a "talking knee."

When he lavished the same politician with the most visceral of insults.

When he went hard on his arch nemesis in front of his friends.

When he got downright sexual with the opposition.
