Timeline

2013

In June 2013, Hawker was appointed Prime Minister Rudd's political adviser, a position he held until the Government's defeat in the 2013 federal election in September 2013. Following the election, Melbourne University Publishing published his campaign diaries, The Rudd Rebellion: The Campaign to Save Labor. News Corp Australia hired political editor Col Allan from New York specifically for election-related coverage. A review of the press coverage commissioned by the Labor Party found that The Daily Telegraph published negative press at double the rate of competitor Fairfax. Against the odds, the Labor campaign directed by Hawker resulted in Labor retention of 55 seats when 30 seats was the predicted outcome. The campaign ensured that Labor avoided political annihilation and saw every cabinet minister returned to parliament.

2011

Along with David Britton, he was the Chairman and founding member of Hawker Britton until his resignation in January 2011. Hawker was the Chief of Staff to New South Wales Premier Bob Carr, a position he held for nine years before resigning to establish Hawker Britton in April 1997. Hawker has played a key role as a strategist on a series of election campaigns for Kevin Rudd; Premier Carr; South Australian Premier Mike Rann and Queensland Premiers Peter Beattie and Anna Bligh. In 2013, he was appointed Prime Minister Rudd's political director. He is the author of The Rudd Rebellion: The Campaign to Save Labor, published in November 2013 by Melbourne University Press.

2010

Following the 2010 federal election, a hung parliament resulted. Hawker led the negotiations with independents Bob Katter, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott which secured the incumbent Labor government led by Julia Gillard a second term.

1997

In 1997, Hawker and David Britton resigned from their positions as Chief of Staff and Chief of Communications, respectively, to start Hawker Britton. When asked to comment about Hawker's resignation, Bob Carr joked, "After all, nine years is a long time to spend in a political office." In 1999, Hawker Britton outgrew its office in The Rocks, relocating to a heritage post office building in Millers Point.
