I met him several times, once at the urinal in old Parliament House back in the 1980s. He shook my hand (after he'd washed his) and wished me well in a job interview. He knew my father. He was a great man. Vale, Bob.

People will be reminiscing about the glory days of Labor under Hawke / Keating. "Do it for Bob" may well become the catch-cry.

The revered Labour figurehead who teamed with Keating to brilliantly destroy the union movement from within. The "modernisation" and resultant "casualisation" of Australias work-force to become more efficient and flexible was the single biggest destroyer of unionism and participation levels in the country.
I find it quite hilariously ironic Cheesy

Bob Hawke Begins Arduous Task Of Deregulating Heaven’s Economy

Saying no-one else was going to make the tough choices required to bring Heaven into the 21st Century, Bob Hawke has immediately announced plans to deregulate the afterlife’s economy, starting with the floating of the currency next week.

Hawke, who arrived in Heaven last night, said he was shocked to see the level of inefficiency on display and believed the afterlife was being held back from future prosperity.

Following the floating of the currency, Hawke will begin work on dismantling the outdated tariff system and ending subsidies to loss-making enterprises within the Heaven network. He also announced plans to lift the living wage for angels, while at the same time increasing economic activity.

He began by giving everyone a day off.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.
