All current world leaders suck!!! says Bob Hawke

Well that's telling them Bob!


"Asked about the achievement today, in an era when even basic reform seems impossible, Hawke notes that optimism has slumped in the years since.

And, he suggests, in a typically frank assessment, that today's leaders are not up to the task.

"I obviously don't want to talk about myself, but the fact is that we are in a unique time, it is the first time since the Second World War when there is not one outstanding leader in the world," he says.

"Think about it, there is not one. And to get things done you have to have capable people around. I don't want to blow my own trumpet, the facts speak for themselves. There are not people around today with that sort of initiative and capacity."
