Keating says he is surprised how 'threadbare' the Coalition's agenda is, saying they have no vision of where Australia fits in the world. All they have to offer is 'trickle-down economics and a tax cut five years away', he says. On climate change, Keating says the world will stop using fossil fuels, adding, 'Here's the prime minister walking around with a lump of coal, coal is a fossil and the problem is the prime minister is a fossil himself. He's a fossil with a baseball cap but he's a fossil.' He denounces the Liberal party's commitment to supporting coal, saying, 'They're living in the past, they're policy deadbeats'
