prime minister hr. bob hawke joining ord, page-39

Settle everyone - as many of you have alluded to my first impression was less than favourable and I almost considered this to be a stunt -

Then I began to consider the fact that I for one (and nearly everyone else here falls into the same category) do not know his true abilities (and age my friends is no barrier if you have your faculties) and I am sure that the board of ORD would have considered most carefully what it is he can bring to the table (even if it is only publicity) - his article say's he has been to China 81 times - he should know a thing or two having done that from the very highest level down

I am prepared to wait and see and even then I doubt we will know exactly what it is he has contributed

Whilst I never voted for him politically - his business abilities is what I would vote for here
