    Bob Hawke. Allegedly called Thatcher a fucking bitch. While I’m sure he meant it, he was better than to say it out loud.

    It sad to see how the right has captured Australia.

      Hawke was good, but he also started (greatly accelerated under Keating) our slide towards a neoliberal UK-like “new Labor”.

      I was talking about Whitlam.
