We have lost a great Australian.

RIP Bob.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

What I loved about Bob Hawke, more than anything, was that he loved Australia and all Aussies and everything about our nation. It was often his criticism of Keating, that he didn't LOVE Australia. And he was extremely intelligent with a very low tolerance for fools in the media.

The quality of political leaders in our country, IMHO, has declined... badly.

R.I.P. Hawkey, you were a bloody rip-snorter mate.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Perfectly put Baggers. If only we had leaders of his ilk today, sadly they are all a joke. Shorten or ScoMo wouldn't carry Bob's esky. A loveable larrikin God love him

Met him a couple of times. Great bloke, had time for you.

Interesting, he was barely taller than our coach. He got up past my chest and that was it.
