Australians have been a bit dissatisfied with their prime ministers of late. Julia Gillard’s a wooden backstabber who stands for nothing, the guy before her was weak and pretentious, and the fellow before that was an out of touch lap dog for George W. Frankly we haven’t had a good one since Bob Hawke in the 80s, and this video reminds us of that.
At the cricket recently Hawkey showed us he’s still got it when he downed a schooner of beer in under 30 seconds. Now that’s the kind of skill we want the person holding the top job to have.
I know he’s 82 now but something tells me we’d give him the PM position back in a heartbeat!
