What policies did Bob Hawke enforce as PM of Australia??

Answer 1

Hawkey was well known for his love a beer and for giving us all a day off when we won the America's Cup! But seriously, I lifted this from Wikipedia for you:

Among other things, the Hawke Government floated the Australian dollar, deregulated the financial system, overhauled the tariff system, privatised state sector industries, ended subsidisation of loss-making industries, and sold off the state-owned Commonwealth Bank of Australia — all reforms that in other Western countries would have been performed by right-wing governments (except in New Zealand under Roger Douglas in David Lange's Labour Government). The tax system was reformed, most notably through the taxation of capital gains — a reform strongly opposed by the Liberal Party at the time, but not reversed when they returned to office.

On social policy, the Hawke government saw gradual reforms. The Whitlam government's universal health insurance system (Medibank), which had been dismantled by Fraser, was restored under a new name, Medicare. A notable success for which the government's response is given considerable credit was Australia's public health campaign about AIDS. In the latter years of the Hawke government, Aboriginal affairs saw considerable attention, with an investigation of the idea of a treaty between Aborigines and the government, though this idea was overtaken by events, notably including the Mabo court decision.

The Hawke government also made some notable environmental decisions. In its first months in office it stopped the construction of the Franklin Dam, on the Franklin River in Tasmania, responding to a groundswell of protest about the issue. In 1990, a looming tight election saw a tough political operator, Graham Richardson, appointed Environment Minister, whose task it was to attract second-preference votes from the Australian Democrats and other environmental parties. Richardson claimed this as a major factor in the government's narrow re-election in 1990, Hawke's last triumph.
