Few politicians have had the same impact on Australia’s music scene as Bob Hawke, and so it’s not surprising that a slew of tributes for the beloved former Labor leader have made their way onto social media since his passing.
Not only did Hawke play a big part in Yothu Yindi’s powerful single Treaty, comedians Paul Jennings and Maree Anne Koomen wrote The Bob Hawke Drinking Song in his honour, highlighting how diverse a reach he had.
He helped celebrate Countdown’s 10th anniversary, and in recent years was a regular at Woodford Folk Festival, all the while inspiring countless artists and more.
