The Hawke Legacy
Bob Hawke, a third generation South Australian, was one of the 20th
century's most notable Prime Ministers (1983-1991) and a great conciliator
nationally and abroad.
The Hawke Centre has been so named in honour of his contribution to the
nation and its focus on civil society issues reflects some themes of the
Hawke era that remain relevant today in Australian life.
The following brief information gives some insight into Bob Hawke's

Ministerial Library.
