Bob Hawke (former PM of Australia) will not be down for breakfast...

...and he will miss the General Election by 48 hours.

Without making this a political thread, he was one of the most outstanding politicians to hold the top job in a very long time...even though he was a leftie - ex Union man

He loved his beer....

RIP Mr Hawke.

RIP Mr. Hawke he was one of the best

RIP Mr. Hawke he was one of the best

And since Australia appears to be second only to Italy in the number of leaders in the last 50 years...that's saying something.

Bob Hawke was a straight-shooter, and he got stuff done.
