Classic stuff from our best-ever Prime Minister:

Hard to believe, but Australia’s great win in the America’s Cup was 30 years ago!

Was that Bob Hawke? He is so easy to mix up with Sir Les Patterson,

That is all we need, Sir Les, er sorry, Bob as our Cultural Attache to the US and that fellow with the wobble board as our resident ambassador in the UK.

Was that we will plant 1 Billion trees Bob Hawke. It is amazing what people say after a few too many drinks.

Quote "our best-ever Prime Minister:" I assume you had a few too many drinks!

Sorry Luddy, Hawke was a nothing. He abdicated from doing anything, leaving it to others to run the country. All he wanted was to be loved.

He lost it when even knowing the 3 mines policy, [uranium] was a pile of garbage, a sop to the left, he backed down & shut up. Up to then he had believed in things, after that he went through the motions, believing in nothing.

Perhaps it was him, rather than Richardson who can be blamed for Labor losing its soul.

Yes thanks Ludwig saw the whole thing yesterday.
Not sure he was our best ever but the pure and proud Australian like it or not about the bloke is great.
Note however the bitter raw anti anything to do with Labor comments here.
Leaves me once again to ask.
When will a Tory/red neck/ uninformed commentator tell of concerns in their camp?

My parents lived opposite Hawkes residence in Sailor Bay Rd Northbridge.
Mother said he was a slob a drunk and a womanizer.
He certainly looked like it the other night.
