Bob Hawke! Where did that come from! Was that expected?

He was quite unwell earlier in the year, I was surprised to see him back in the public eye recently.

RIP, one of the greatest Australian Prime Ministers ever.

It's hard to comprehend he's gone. Just. like. that. It was as though he was eternal.

It's just such weird/historical timing as well. With election this weekend.

He’s going to be so pissed off that he missed the election results this weekend.

I'm glad at least he and Paul Keating got to publicly bury the hatchet before he went.

Meanwhile his passing has generated 8 out of the top 10 trending topics of twitter.

I know. One second ago he was back in the political news. I vaguely remember reading he was in poor health a while ago. But then - bam - there he was again. On stage with everyone else.
