Paul John Keating (born 18 January 1944) was the 24th Prime Minister of Australia, serving from 1991 to 1996. He came to prominence as the reformist treasurer in the Hawke government from 1983. After he became prime minister in 1991 he led the Labor Party to victory in the 1993 federal election, which many had considered "unwinnable" for Labor, due to the effects that the early 1990s recession had on Australia. The Labor Party was defeated at the 1996 federal election by the Liberal/National coalition led by John Howard.
