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.
