Source:News Corp AustraliaA mother of two, Ms Dillon is arguing her late father failed to provide adequate family provision for her from his $18 million estate, given she is a disability-support pensioner suffering from depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder, who is dependant on welfare and her family’s help to survive.
The allegations, even without substantiation, will rock the Labor Party which has had to overlook controversial slices of Mr Hawke’s private behaviour to protect his unique status as political hero. Mr Hawke’s wife Blanche d’Alpuget and the family of the late Victorian trade union and political leader Bill Landeryou will also suffer.
