Steve (Australia) (2011/05/07):
"Hawke lived his public life with a furious intensity as if his days were numbered. Did he fear that he might die prematurely before he had left his imprint firmly embedded in Australian history? How much had that brush with death in a motor cycle accident at the age of seventeen, the recollection of his close friend Lionel Revelman dying in his arms, and the threats to kill him affect his attitude to life? Was there enough time? Hawke was in a hurry. There was always another challenge, another peak. Was he afraid of falling from public grace, or of dying, before the ultimate achievement?"
