Farewell Hazel Hawke


 Hazel Hawke, 1929 – 2013. 
Hazel was the former wife of former PM Bob Hawke, and was widely respected among even those who couldn’t stand Hawke himself.
An unpretentious person, she lent dignity, integrity, and a common touch to her position which made her widely loved, and may be part of the reason the Hawke government stayed in power as long as it did.

    Unpretentious; dignity; integrity; a common touch; widely loved.

    Not the sort of attributes you would ascribe to any of The Canberra Stupid Club.

    RIP Hazel Hawke
