Hawke–Keating government

The Hawke–Keating Government describes the Hawke Governments and Keating Governments, which spanned from 11 March 1983 to 11 March 1996. The governments were formed by the Australian Labor Party, and was led first by Bob Hawke as Prime Minister and then by Paul Keating. The Hawke–Keating Government began after the Fraser Government was defeated at the 1983 election, and ended with defeat at the 1996 election, which ushered in the Howard Government.
