TTM Success - Former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke

Bob Hawke is an Australian politician who served as Prime Minister from 1983-1991. While in office the Hawke government created Medicare and Landcare, formed APEC, introduced the Family Assistance Scheme, announced Advance Australia Fair as the official national anthem, and initiated pension schemes for all workers.

While in university, he also set a world record for beer drinking when he skulled a yard of ale in 11 seconds. In his memoirs, Hawke suggested that this single feat may have contributed to his political success more than any other, by endearing him to a voting population with a strong beer culture.

I sent him a photo and he returned it unsigned but included his own 4x6 photo signed and inscribed in 36 days.
