Former prime minister Bob Hawke has been praised by both sides of politics following his death at the age of 89. Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Hawke served the nation with passion and courage, and had a unique ability to speak to all Australians. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says Hawke was the labour movement’s "greatest son", while former prime minister Kevin Rudd has described Hawke as a "giant of Australian politics". Hawke was Australia’s long-serving Labor prime minister, and he had previously been president of the ACTU.
