Paul Keating himself has lamented walking the corridors of New Parliament House “not feeling like you were part of anything”. Another former Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, expressed concern the "badly designed" structure lacks "collision space brings people together to...compromise and agree and discuss. I think the design of the building definitely contributes to the fact that there are less cross-party friendships than there were in the old parliament". These concerns have been echoed by many former parliamentarians, including Malcolm Fraser, Tom Uren, Peter Walsh, Barry Jones, and Bob Carr. Walsh, a former Finance Minister in the Hawke Government has said the building is "an antiseptic, isolated and impersonal place, compared with its predecessor".
