John Keating (Australian politician)
John Henry Keating (28 June 1872 – 31 October 1940) was an Australian politician.
Keating was born in Hobart and educated at Officer College, Hobart, Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview, Sydney and the University of Tasmania where he received a Bachelor of Laws in 1896.

Political career
Keating stood unsuccessfully for the Tasmanian House of Assembly seat of George Town in 1900. In the 1901 election, he was elected to the Australian Senate as the youngest member of the Parliament, where he supported the Protectionist Party governments of Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin. He supported the establishment of a system of compulsory conciliation and arbitration a Commonwealth old-age pension scheme and a White Australia. He was appointed an honorary minister in the second Deakin Ministry in July 1905 and Vice-President of the Executive Council in October 1906. He was responsible for the drafting of the 1905 Copyright Act. He was Minister for Home Affairs from January 1907 to November 1908 and was responsible for passing a bill to provide bounties to assist industry and a bill to establish the Commonwealth quarantine service. He sat on the backbench during Deakin's Fusion government. Although he fully supported Australia's participation in World War I, he voted to force the Hughes government to an election in 1917 in protest at Hughes' manoeuvering to have the Tasmanian Government replace Labor Senator Rudolph Ready—who had been forced by ill-health to resign—with the Nationalist John Earle, thus gaining control of the Senate. He failed to win re-election as a Nationalist at the 1922 election and returned to his legal practice.

All I Got To Give (featuring Marsha Ambrosius)
by: John ReganJohn Regan:
I've been judged all my life
Criticized about decisions I made
Working non-stop with limited breaks
Giving six-figure efforts, earning minimum wage
I can't sleep - for every blink, there's a cent to be made
I won't rest to until the day of my death
The day they lay me in a grave
And I can say that I gave it my best
Nothing less or I made a mistake
I was lying when I said I was ready to be taken away
Not until the clouds are gone, long away from grey
Knowing it won't rain where my babies stay
Sunshine over my wife, watering my seeds
To raise the plants I laid to make a legacy
I won't stop until my organs give up, my heart gives out
My throat gets cut, whatever deaths got to pitch out
I'm gonna take it to the full count
The last eight ball at the pool house
And even the corner pocket to point out
Marsha Ambrosius:
Sometimes it’s gonna be hard
But we can make it better
Sometimes it don’t work
So we gotta be stronger
You know that I can feel your pain
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
In this life we live
I'll give you all I got to give
John Regan:
Now I know I'm not the only guy dealing with stress
But why do I gotta be the one that's so familiar with death?
It's like, I know I ain't dreaming, but I can't believe it
Either the grim reaper's here or the banshees' screaming
Here to take a star from my movie off of my set
And I'm the film director screaming with the bullhorn, vexed
And I ain't suicidal, but I'm taking that step to say:
"If you come around again, you're making me next"
My grandpop passed '02 without a clue or a sign at all
My family foundation started to fall
And it was hard losing my grams
She nurtured all the roots of this man
You understand, she was the glue to the fam
It crushed my heart in the hospital seeing her cry
Holding my hand telling me that she was scared to die
I couldn't take it at the wake the straight face she had gave me the shivers
It made me wanna crawl in that coffin with her
Marsha Ambrosius:
Sometimes it’s gonna be hard
But we can make it better
Sometimes it don’t work
So we gotta be stronger
You know that I can feel your pain
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
In this life we live
I'll give you all I got to give
All I got to give
Is my heart and my love
No I can't give up
On all of the things that I fear
Still I miss you so
I wish that you were here
John Regan:
I had a dream to paint the world that I seen
Then, I seen the world I dreamt
I gave it all I got to give
But I still gotta give more
My little girl's about the only thing I live for
Life ain't a destination - it's a journey
So how I made it here to where I am now concerns me
I don't care where I go
I just care how I get there
And watch the world spin while I sit there
Marsha Ambrosius:
Sometimes it’s gonna be hard
But we can make it better
Sometimes it don’t work
So we gotta be stronger
You know that I can feel your pain
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
In this life we live
