Bob Hawke Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Prime Minister of Australia
Life: b. December 9, 1929
Birthday: December 9
One other thing: at the meeting in Canada, [there was] the coup in Fiji. This comes to an important part of the Commonwealth: the role of the Queen [Elizabeth II].

She really immersed herself in the Commonwealth.
