"Today we lost Bob Hawke, a great Australian – many would say the greatest Australian of the post-war era," Mr Hawke's wife Blanche d'Alpuget said in a statement.
Always the politician, even with the timing of his death just one day before the election. How can the Libs beat that?
RIP Bob and thank-you for everything!!
One of the few authentic leaders Australia has had in the past half century. Intelligence, vision, courage to stand by his convictions, and the ability to relate to the common man. R.I.P. Bob Hawke.
TheatreNetworkA A great leader who made us proud. It's time for an AustralianLabor government to do the same again from Saturday. Condolences to Mr Hawke's beloved wife and children.
That’s, so close to see the election results. It’s a shame. RIP Bob
Rest in peace and thank you, thank you very much.

RIP

Paul Keating says Peter Dutton is the 'meanest' person in Australian politics in 50 yearsFormer Labor prime minister Paul Keating has attacked Peter Dutton, saying he is the most 'mean-spirited' person in Australian politics in 50 years and praised Labor leader Bill Shorten's line-up as the best frontbench since Bob Hawke came to power in 1983 Captain Wackey fails to mention he had Peter Walsh as Finance Minister keeping things real Is Keating wrong? Dutton is a full blown irresponible dog whistling liar. Watch him in action, unflinchingly blank faced he lies to Australians PaladinAffair My favourite was when he thought he had a shot at knocking off Turnbull & he tried to soften his image by smiling. I thought his face was going to crack! 😄

Shorten pledges to provide certainty to business | Sky News AustraliaBill Shorten has promised his government would provide the certainty business needs, in a breakfast speech in Perth.\n\nIt comes as the Labor leader gets the backing of party elder Bob Hawke, who in a letter wrote that Mr Shorten will be the ‘consensus’ Prime Minister if he wins government. \n\nMr Shorten announced his plans for a convention of business leaders, unions, small business representatives, and employees to discuss how to improve wages.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n\n Was this the opening of his comedy routine? Or did he mean he would most certainly break them ? He said he was targeting a war on business. Year right, Labor couldn’t run a raffle. I’m sure that speech would put fear into any business community It’s this a JOKE!!! billshortenmp will destroy businesses and this country!!!

Labor throwing ‘care to the winds’ with long-stay parents visa | Sky News AustraliaPresident of the Australian Population Institute Bob Birrell says Labor has 'consigned care to the winds’ with their ‘open-ended’ parent visa program, which is ‘far more generous’ than any other country in the Western World. \n\nThe Opposition has announced plans to cut the visa fee for parents of immigrants to Australia fee to one-fourth of its current cost and remove the Coalition government’s cap of 15,000 that it is currently subject to.\n\nMr Birrell says the permanent entry parent visa has been around for some years, previously restricted to 7000 per year with onerous eligibility requirements, a product of ‘careful’ management of the family reunion program.\n\n I’m surprised Foxtel only lost $417m last year putting on this shit Credlin Show

'That will decide who is fittest': Bob Katter says he's not too old, challenges Clive Palmer to raceThe veteran MP brushes off calls from Mr Palmer to go and enjoy his retirement, saying he will take the billionaire on in a race up the stairs in Parliament House. He deliberately used the word ‘fittest’ to be satirical, right? They’re both too old lol. Boomers and messing up the future name a more iconic duo It would appear that age is no guarantee of intelligence
