澳大利亚前总理保罗·基廷近日在悉尼大学与历史学家詹姆斯·柯伦进行公开对话，阐述其政治遗产并为澳大利亚的未来方向辩护1。基廷在对话中坚持澳大利亚应当成为共和国、与土著民族实现和解、并采纳亚洲安全战略的主张1。他批评当今领导层缺乏远大的战略思维1。
基廷任期间（1991-1996）见证了苏联解体、首位美国总统在三十年来首次访澳，以及亚太经济合作组织的建立等重大历史事件1。为强调澳大利亚应独立自主，基廷在1992年澳纽军团日于科科达纪念碑前跪地献吻1。他曾单独会见英女王伊丽莎白二世，向其表达澳大利亚不再需要君主统治的立场1。
在当代议题上，基廷对美国总统特朗普的外交政策表示支持，认为其政策目标是"避免第三次世界大战"1。基廷还将人工智能描述为"自电力发现以来最伟大的变革力量"1。
Paul Keating, who served as Prime Minister from 1991 to 1996, engaged in a public dialogue with historian James Curran at the University of Sydney to discuss his political legacy and his vision for Australia's future.1 During this conversation, Keating reiterated his core beliefs about the direction Australia should take, including becoming a republic, achieving reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, and pursuing an Asian-centered security strategy.1 He was also critical of current leadership, arguing that timidity represents a fundamental failure in strategic thinking.1
Keating's tenure as Prime Minister coincided with several momentous global and national developments, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, the first visit by a sitting American president to Australia in three decades, and the establishment of APEC.1 On a personal diplomatic level, Keating recounted meeting privately with Queen Elizabeth II to convey the message that Australia no longer required a monarch.1 A defining symbolic moment of his leadership came in 1992 when, during an Anzac Day commemoration at the Kokoda monument, he knelt to kiss the ground, emphasizing Australia's need for independence and self-determination.1
Looking at contemporary global developments, Keating expressed support for the foreign policy objectives of current U.S. President Donald Trump, characterizing his aim as "preventing a third world war."1 On emerging technologies, Keating described artificial intelligence as "the greatest transformative force since the discovery of electricity."1
