Bob Hawke Men Quotations

Peoples have come to experience that political structures and divisions of power are not immutable.

I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies.

There is no doubt that this government and this country are benefiting from the reforms that we brought in the 1980s, and that couldn't have been done without the co-operation of the trade union movement.

The Chinese are definitely concerned about the tendency of this Australian government to align itself with the United States.

There's a general consensus from this conference that China and its growth is not a threat but a tremendous opportunity.
