Kelty and Keating’s lasting legacy
This has been one of the most significant social reforms of the past century as it has not only provided far greater security in retirement than the pension system, but has also provided a vast aggregation of capital to enable national investment in public infrastructure outside the vagaries of politics and national budgeting.
This alone secures Keating’s place in Australian history.
