Bill Hayden, the man who probably would have been PM but made way for Bob Hawke in 1983 dies at 90. A former copper who studied economics at night, he rose to become Foreign Minister and Governor General during the Hawke Years. He was Minister for Social Services and Treasurer in the Whitlam government. It was Hayden's budget that was blocked in the Senate, leading to the dismissal of the Whitlam Government. Vale to a Labor great. In the UK, the Tories get smashed in two by elections with an election due late next year, can they recover? The Two Jacks say no. In the US, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell flip on the Georgia RICO charges, making Donald Trump's position even more precarious. In sport, an NZ punter cracks it for $10 million on The Everest.
