Bob Hawke will be deservedly remembered among Australians, and indeed the global community, not only as a politician of great talent and principle, but as a man who was passionate about community and consensus, the economy, education, environmental issues, equality – and the promotion of an inclusive and diverse community, global initiatives, social justice, not to mention beer, cricket and the America's Cup.

Memorial Book
A Memorial Book is now available for people to sign in the Hawke Centre's Kerry Packer Civic Gallery, UniSA City West Campus. Bob is sure to be remembered as a 'man of the people' - and people are urged to share their special memories of him.

Record Your Personal Tribute
The Memorial Book will be available for signing over the next few months, giving the opportunity for members of the public and the University of South Australia's staff and students to record their personal tributes.

A copy will be sent to Mr Hawke's family as a token of esteem from the Hawke Centre, and from all those who have recorded their tributes.

Send Your Message
For those unable to visit the gallery, living interstate or overseas, please send your message via email to [email protected] and it will be included in the Memorial Book.

Advancing Australia Fair Exhibition
In addition to the Memorial Book, there is an exhibition showing in conjunction called Advancing Australia Fair - Bob Hawke and his Government 1983 – 1991. The exhibition is a tribute to a Labour Prime Minister who won four terms in office. The exhibition includes materials and memorabilia relating to Mr Hawke's life and career and tracks the paradigm shift in Australian values, policies and international relations pursued by Bob Hawke and his government. There is a retrospective documentary showing which reviews the highlights and controversies of Bob Hawke's life and times. Free Admission.
