An article by academic Cameron Coventry is about to be published in the peer-reviewed Australian Journal of Politics & History. The article analyses diplomatic cables from official archives, and finds that, while serving as leader of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), and President of the Labor party, Hawke passed on sensitive information about the government, the trade union movement and more to the US over many years. We don't currently say much about Hawke's connections to the US. [1] The story has been picked up by RT, Murdoch's Australian and a few other small sites.

Article doesn't say why he was born in Bordertown. I presume his father worked there as a (Congregationalist) minister.
Article doesn't say when (or why) he moved to Perth. I can't find it on Google, but it's between 1939 and 1942, and looks like 1942.

The infobox shows Hazel Masterson as Bob's first wife, with the additional info "(m, 1956; div, 1994)" - but the Personal life section states that "The couple divorced in 1995 ... ". Prisoner of Zenda ( talk) 11:20, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Bob Hawke said in 1983 after Australia II won the America's Cup “I'll tell you what: any boss who sacks a worker for not turning up today is a bum”. [1] Does this quote say anything about Hawke or is it historically significant enough that it deserves inclusion? Qwerty123 (they/them) ( talk) 05:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

"I'LL TELL YOU what: any boss who sacks a worker for not turning up today is a bum." Australians tend to remember these words fondly coming from the mouth of then prime minister Bob Hawke after Australia II won the America's Cup yacht race, breaking a 132-year winning streak for the USA.
