Gillies and writer Don Watson collaborated to create the Hawkie character and spent a lot of time trying to work out who Bob Hawke was. Someone told them Hawke was very like Robert Schuller, an American evangelist famous for a Sunday morning television program,"Lo and behold it did remind us of Hawke and that wasn't too far from the truth as he'd grown up with a congregationalist preacher as a father.
"That was certainly the first time I can remember someone using the vernacular, everyday speech – we call it larrikin now but at the time it was down to earth, the natural language of the people." The two first met at the ABC during Hawke's second election campaign. "He was buggered. He wasn't a young man, he looked ashen. He came over and said he'd seen the first show of [] and he said he didn't think I'd cracked it but then said, 'I've heard that you've improved'."Gillies says Hawke gave as much physically as he did verbally.
Win or lose.....Morrison like Hawke has the X factor with people, different but certainly dominant. It’s sincere.

In fact this is one of many differences you can find in Hawke's views and today's Labor. michaelkoziol Seriously! What Fools are voting for this clown in Warringah?

Bob Hawke saw unfinished business right up to the end, says Bill KeltyThe other partner in the reform project of the 1980s and 90s, ACTU secretary Bill Kelty, chokes back tears as he talks about his mate of 53 years. I had the honour of meeting Bob as a child and later being taught by Bill Kelty at uni: trade union politics. Something that has been at the heart of many Australian businesses. Policy, reform and working rights were established because of these great men. Vote AustralianLabor virgotweet Such a beautiful tribute to Bob from Bill Kelty💥🙌🏼
