Oh for god's sake Hawke was an advocate for minorities and disadvantaged for starters and empower Aboriginals as much as was possible at the time, Price is none of that.
Why is Price non of that? Because she doesn't agree with you and your stance? 60% of the population agree with her.
Even Bob didn't talk about changing the constitution, he talked about a treaty, so you disagree with him also?
Identity politics and an over inflated opinion of your own perceptions, doesn't mean you are right and criticising others that don't agree with you isn't a form of consensus, it is a form of belligerence.
He certainly did not fly into Alice Springs refuse to talk to local Aboriginal leaders then proceed to attack front line health and child protection workers who lacked funding and resources then fly out.
You're right I don't remember him flying to Alice Springs at all, Jacinta Price lived in Alice Springs so no doubt she will have talked to most of the aboriginals there. As for Bob refusing to talk to people, he demanded the pilots that went on strike be banned from ever being employed in Australia again, so much for conciliation.
Hawke never did the shameful poisoned politics such as the call for a Royal Commission into child sexual abuse when 33 such reports all ready existed what didn't exist was action under a Coalition Government.
Why wouldn't you call for a Royal Commission, if as you say nothing has been done? Maybe that's because they don't intend to do anything either, as you've said move on nothing to see here, it's over.
Hawke didn't need protection in his own seat or stand around spewing out white fella right wing ideology BS at hard right wing talk fests.
No Hawke wanted Australia to show its respect to Hirohito by flying Australian flags at half mast, but there was such a backlash that he reversed his decision, so he wasn't without his moments.
How right wing was it, for Hawke to bring in the military to strike break the pilots? It don't get much more right wing than that, how selective is your anger?
AS for PM never to many grifters in the way.
Hawke was a consensus leader Price is 100% divisive going after the Trans community an example.
Hawke wasn't a consensus leader, he was in bed with the ACTU and basically did what is happening now, which was cut 'real' wages.
He was extremely popular with the workers, because they believed this time it will be different, that wore off and Keating rolled him and Keating only lasted one term.
It was after the Hawke/Keating years that workers left the union in droves and they have never recovered, now Labors voter base is inner city elites, the workers have never trusted Labor since the Hawke Keating years.
