Paul Keating
Prime Minister of Australia 1991-1996
Original cartoon by John Frith
Old Parliament House Collection
Paul Keating was Prime Minister between 1991 and 1996. He was widely regarded by his opponents as somewhat of a ‘spiv’.
Frith depicts him here as a smooth suited and supremely self-confident personality.
