Some nice stories on this Post by people that have meet Bob Hawke.
Sadly, I never did, but do appreciate his service to bettering the lives of people in our country.
He was often mocked for saying that by 1990 (or was it 1991), that he would eliminate child poverity. It may not have happened, but he came closer to doing so than any PM before or since.
If there is a racetrack in the afterlife, look for him there.
