The Bastion Point occupation leader has died, at the age of 82.
Mr Robertson says when he started working at Parliament, Mr Hawke was still a Labour MP, and they hit it off.
Mr Robertson says he loved the time he got to spend with Mr Hawke in the 20 years since, calling the kaumatua a man of immense courage and mana, and a totara of Ngati Whatua.
