[edit] Photo

Is it possible to find a photo of Bill Hayden as Governor-General ie a photo from the 1980's rather than one from when he entered Parliament in the late 1960s ? Paddington62 3 march 2006

[edit] "Alienation from his former party"

Bill attended the last Labor function I was at, in which several speakers made reference to the fact that he had re-joined the party. Perhaps the article is in need of an update? Slac speak up! 01:35, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Can we find a source? Adam 01:40, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Kim Beazley and several other speakers made mention of it several times at the Labor Leaders dinner in Brisbane earlier this year, at which Bill Hayden was in attendance. I was there, I assume Slac was also there. QLD State Secretary Milton Dick was also there, and he acknowledged Bill although I don't recall whether he was one of the speakers who said that he had re-joined the Party. I think the article needs an update! --Anon

[edit] Band Member?

I am pretty sure this is not the Bill Hayden from the british metal band jerusalem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.208.78.62 (talk) 01:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Declined to be Chief Scout

Was it Hayden who declined the normal practice of the G-G becoming the Chief Scout of Australia, on the grounds that the Scout oath was inimical to his atheism? JackofOz 11:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

To answer my own question, yes, it was. This is a cite for the GG normally being made Chief Scout. And this confirms that Hayden said thanks, but no thanks. Disclaimer: I have no association whatsoever with the League of Rights or what they stand for; this was the only cite I could find on Google. -- JackofOz 00:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prime Minister Hayden?

Four former prime ministers - Gough Whitlam, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and Bill Hayden - were among those paying their respects... time to update the wiki or jump up and down over how the media don't proof their articles these days? :P Timeshift 08:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
