"At the age of seventeen, the same age that his brother Neil had died, Hawke had a serious accident while riding his Panther motorcycle that left him in a critical condition for several days.

So suppose Hawke had died at a young age. Does Bill Hayden remain leader of the Australian Labor Party and become Prime Minister in 1983 (Hayden famously said that a "drover's dog" could win the election)?
(And yes, obviously this post was prompted by Hawke's death today...)
