The YouTube video below shows 82-year-old former Prime Minister Bob Hawke downing a beer at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
It brought to mind a 1975 ditty by Paul Jennings, a well-known impressionist of the time.
In 1975, Hawke was the President of the ACTU. He didn’t reach the House of Representatives until 1980. He was Australia’s third longest-serving prime minister from 1983 until 1991.
