Reflections of Bob Hawke in Old Parliament House
As Prime Minister, Bob Hawke served five years in the Old Parliament House and three in the new.
Was he or anyone on his staff sad to leave the cramped, crowded, noisy, stuffy threadbare old Prime Minister’s Office for the vast and elegant spaces in the new?
Hawke's speechwriter, Stephen Mills, reflects on his time working with Bob.
