Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke Necked A Beer At The Cricket…Again
Man of the people.
In an age where the divide between politicians and regular people seems wider than ever before, former Prime Minister Bob Hawke continues to prove himself to be a man of the people.
Less than a week after he led a crowd of 20,000 in a booming rendition of ‘Waltzing Matilda’, the former top dog in Canberra was seen on the big screen at the SCG skolling a beer as the assembled crowd lost its goddamned mind.
I think there was some kind of cricket match happening at the time, but people were a lot more excited about the beer, and understandably so.
87 years old, not even midday and Bob Hawke is already on the beers.
It's going to be a good year! ????? #auspol #solidarityforever pic.twitter.com/ehIdqmeJq8

When Bob Hawke is necking a beer at the cricket, you know the world makes sense #AUSvPAK

This is fast becoming a tradition for Mr. Hawke, who made headlines after pounding a cold one at the very same venue back in 2012. Nice to see he’s still got it in him. Let’s have more of this, and less weird policy ideas about other countries dumping their nuclear waste in the outback, thanks.
