1989: Prime Minister Bob Hawke was forced to apologise after labelling a heckler on the campaign trail in Whyalla in South Australia a “silly old bugger”. The 74-year-old pensioner yelled at him that “you get more a week than I do in a year”. “I don’t know what you are talking about, you silly old bugger,” Mr Hawke replied.
Who's the silly old bugger now?
