Death of Bob Hawke
 

It might interest some that Bob Hawke has died today aged 89.

Just announced on the ABC news.

I can't wait to be the first to piss on his grave! It's gonna be a thing trust me :)

Bus drivers hey ?

Dead at 89. How ironic

I wasn't in the country when he was making an apparent impact on the aviation industry here- its obvious some won't miss him. What was that impact please?

Rather. :hmm:

Wot a terrible shame. Pete's probably up for a bit of a chat tho!!!

YES! The queue starts!

Ha...yeah...the irony of '89 huh?

But..you know I'm going to the Doctors tomorrow, and I go with my medicare card, so I thank the Silver Bodgie for that....(The lady pulling up in her Bentley for her appointment almost certainly also flashes her Medicare card as well....but that is a different story)

B Kelty to go

My first thought was to jump on here, glad I wasn't disappointed ;)

I'm with FLGOFF,

My etching fluid is ready.

A man how was a hypocrite to the end.

I'll never forgive him.

I was a bit young at the time of the going down of the 89 nastiness....but I know several 'Glorified Bus Drivers' that went on to remain as CX 'A' scalers for many years and retiring obscenely wealthy...some so much so that they returned home early to 'retire' in GA....

....that was not the case for ALL of course!, but there are those that privately acknowledge it was the best thing that ever happened to them...$ wise....

I will be at the grave site to see him off.
