Best PM of our time. Regardless of your politics there is no one like him today.

It's time to neck a beer for this top bloke.
His passion was infectious. His intelligence was of the highest level. He wasn’t all about sound bites. He could smash beers like there was no tomorrow.
If any boss sacks anyone for not turning up to work tomorrow is a bum. Put your yard glasses out the front tonight..
RIP Bob
That’s so awful! So sorry to hear that!
Legend!!! Vale Robert James Lee Hawke !!
Will be leaving a beer out tonight. RIP.
ChrisCourtney4 Without Hawke and Keating, we would still be riding sheep's back, ignorant of the wider world economics, no super, no diversity, imploding inward economy, racially white bigoted, inadequate compassion for the minorities and the poor. Hawke is a blessing to us.
What a great man and great Prime Minister.
RIP Bob.
Great Man and Leader. Thanks for Medicare and saving Australia for the People
Vale Bob the people’s man ... “Anyone who sacks his employee today is a bum” or words to that effect.

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! 😄
