I ended up working at the "New" Parliament house between 1987 and 1992 and had several encounters with the great man in the corridors and lifts etc during that time but my fondest memory of him was as a 16 year old and a member of the very first Australian Youth Science Forum (then known as the Australian Science Summer School) in Jan 1984. Here I got to meet Bob Hawke, when he officially opened the forum, his first public engagement for 1984. He was so genuine, friendly and the peoples Prime minster feeling was palpable. His passion for education was undeniable.
RIP Bob Hawke
Mike
