Keating understood the power of tradition yet he loved to break the rules and create a new orthodoxy. That's what he did as treasurer saying, in effect, that Labor runs a market model with equity, and it worked.

Up here in Alaska we're sitting on billions of barrels of oil. We're sitting on hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas onshore and offshore.
