Such an inconsiderate thing to say about a man who has just lost a loved one.

Wake up to yourself, Hawke dropped her for a younger woman, he is a pig of a man by any standards as Australian children still in poverty can attest to.
A lot like Gillard in fact except she also uses the disabled to shed false tears over to gain popularity.

Yes, after years of womanising he finally settled on just one of them.
Hazel was a great example of cheerful stoicism and courage.
 
I'm happy for you guys to live with double standards in life. But why push them on other people? You come in here, a thread about paying respects to people who have died, and turn it into another political point winning exercise.

I think it's unncessary and pretty offensive to try to score moral points over people who have just lost a loved one.

Get off your high horse, Hawke loves no one but himself.

Again. Wrong thread for it.

Correct............lets let it go, I always liked Hazel, she seemed too good for Bob, but I was surprised when I found out she had an abortion so that Bob could finish his Rhodes Scholarship...........she said she didn't regret it.
I find that a bit cold.....maybe there was more to her than the image of the motherly type.
 
Zanetti gets it right

Or maybe yet another example of a sacrifice she made for him.

Your apology is worse than your original offence! *moral indignation*
 
Yothu Yindi lead singer passed away today.

Out of respect for his cultural background, let's not report his name. Those who care will know. Those who don't will have no need.

He was a great influential leader and educator, whose legacy will live on.

I also liked Hazel Hawke and even back when Bob was PM, always felt she was too good for him somehow. I was also bit disturbed when I heard she had had an abortion and was subsequently a campaigner for abortion. Since I am anti-abortion that is one thing I don't agree with her on. Nevertheless I liked her a lot. RIP Hazel.

RIP the lead singer of Yothu Yindi too, he had health problems for some time I think.

Definitely name with Yolngu, ok to use his surname but not his given name. For the same reason the Yolngu word for octopus will be changed because that was his given name and therefore no one can say it now.

Mr Yunupingu was a long time friend of mine and an amazing and inspirational musician, teacher and leader. He will be sadly missed.
 
Thanks galumay.
It must have been an honour to know him.
The respect that he and his family has engendered is astounding.

I loved Treaty and their version of ACDC's jailbreak - quite chilling.

Thank you for clarifying that. I hadn't been aware of that distinction, and been wondering why the news article I'd read kept referring to "Mr Y".
Since you made the point about Yolngu, does it differ between cultural groups/ nations? I've always been under the impression, with our local Noongar people it's the full name.

A lovely song Miss Hale, one of my favourites too, I have sat on the beach at Bawaka which is the place the song describes, listening to Mr Yunupingu sing Djapana, there are two beaches either side (east & west) of a narrow peninsula and a Yolngu community on each, one is the 'sunrise' side and one the 'sunset' - for obvious reasons!

He showed the way for many Yolngu youth, taking Yothu Yindi to a massive international act - at their height they played in fromt of 500,000 in Germany. Its amazing to see the cultural wealth that comes out of this small pocket of Australia, some of the worlds best known musicians and artists, yet basically unknown to 95% of Australians!
