Long-serving prime minister Bob Hawke did not leave a cent to the three children he raised with first wife Hazel in his will - a copy of which has been obtained by Daily Mail Australia.

Mr Hawke's entire estate - including most of the $9.2million proceeds of selling a Sydney harbourfront home - went to his second wife and former mistress Blanche d'Alpuget.

Documents show the only gifts the Labor legend left to his children were five sentimental mementos including a photograph of Mr Hawke as a youth with his beloved father Clem. 

Each of Mr Hawke's children and Ms d'Alpuget's son were reportedly given $750,000 from the sale of the Northbridge mansion but they were not provided with any money in his will.

Mr Hawke's death has exposed divisions in his family and led to fights over the distribution of his wealth - estimated to be at least $18million.

There were squabbles over his personal belongings being put up for public auction which led to items disappearing from the catalogue and being withdrawn from sale.

Now it can be revealed that whatever other arrangements Mr Hawke made before his death to financially provide for his children, he left them no money in his will. 

Mr Hawke was Australia's longest serving Labor prime minister, winning federal elections in 1983, 1984, 1987 and 1991 before going on to be a successful businessman.

He married his biographer Ms d'Alpuget - with whom he had conducted a long-running affair - in 1995 after divorcing Hazel, his wife of 38 years.

Seven months after Mr Hawke's death his youngest daughter Rosslyn Dillon took legal action against her stepmother, claiming $4.2million from her father's estate.

That case, which revealed friction between 59-year-old Ms Dillon and 76-year-old Ms d'Alpuget, was settled out of court in May with the terms to remain confidential. 

Last week Ms Dillon, who had wanted $4.2million to buy a house in Sydney's eastern suburbs, was still living in a cockroach-infested flat where she can't afford the $500 weekly rent. 

Among Mr Hawke's belongings listed for auction was this gold-plated Raymond Weil Fidelio gold-plated men's watch, one of matching timepieces presented to Mr and Mrs Hawke

Ms Dillon's lawyers wrote to Ms d'Alpuget: 'We are instructed that [Mr Hawke] wore this watch on a daily basis from the time of its presentation until his death and that [Ms Dillon] wears on a daily basis the watch it matches'. Mr Hawke is pictured wearing the watch in 2013

A copy of Mr Hawke's will, made in April 2016, was obtained by Daily Mail Australia after probate was granted by the New South Wales Supreme Court.

Robert James Lee Hawke is described as a 'retired politician' in the document. 

'I forgive all loans and debts owed to me by any of my children Susan Pieters-Hawke, Rosslyn Dillon, Stephen Arthur Hawke and my step-son Louis Camden Pratt,' the will states.

'I give the rest and residue of my estate to my Trustees: to pay all debts, legacies, funeral and testamentary expenses and any death, estate or successions duties; and to hold the balance remaining for my wife Blanch d'Alpuget.' 

Mr Hawke bequeathed to daughters Ms Dillon, Sue Pieters-Hawke, and son Stephen Hawke a crystal bowl given to him by the prime minister of Ireland engraved 'RJH and Hazel'. 

He also left them a stone sculpture titled 'The Sunflower', his father's copy of Jesus Christ's teachings known as the Sermon on the Mount, and his 'memoirs and other material'.

Mr Hawke directed those items be distributed by his widow Ms d'Alpuget among herself and his children 'as she sees fit and in her absolute discretion'.

'In the event no beneficiary named in this clause wants any of these items, I direct that hose items not taken be gifted to the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre in Adelaide,' the will states. 

The Irish crystal bowl was originally listed in an auction of Mr Hawke's personal belongings but after a challenge by Ms Dillon was withdrawn from sale and given to her, along with a clock she also wanted. 

A representative of the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre at the University of South Australia could not say whether or not the institution had received any artefacts. 

Mr Hawke died aged 89 at the Northbridge home he shared with Ms d'Alpuget overlooking Middle Harbour on May 16 last year.

That five-storey house had already been sold for $9.2million, ahead of plans for the couple to move into a city apartment bought for $3.36million in 2015.

Mr Hawke and his first wife Hazel - the mother of his three children - had paid $1.23million for the property, which was knocked down and rebuilt, in 1991.

Ms Dillon, Ms Pieters-Hawke, Stephen Hawke and Ms d'Alpuget's son Louis Pratt were each offered $750,000 from the Northbridge sale upon Mr Hawke's death but Ms Dillon wanted more. 

She claimed she had not been adequately provided for and took action in the NSW Supreme Court, naming Ms d'Alpuget as a defendant along with the executors of Mr Hawke's estate.

Ms Dillon's legal challenge, in which she wanted $4.2million to cover expenses for the rest of her lifetime, was settled out of court under confidential terms.

Details of Ms Dillon's claim were first published by The New Daily, which obtained a copy of her 25-page affidavit.   

The disability pensioner, who lives in a one-bedroom flat she described as cockroach-infested, had wanted $2.5million to buy a house in Sydney's eastern suburbs. 

Ms Dillon had estimated she would need $60,000 to renovate the bathroom and kitchen. She also wanted $6,000 for new clothes and shoes and $30,000 for a new set of teeth.

Ms Dillon seems to have mistakenly believed a set of late Victorian silver-plated cutlery (left and right) had been used for Hawke family Christmas celebrations. The cutlery, made by Frank Cobb & Co of Sheffield about 1890 and presented in an oak canteen, and sold for $7,200

Her affidavit listed further projected expenses of $50,000 for furniture, $16,000 for household appliances, $4,000 for linen and towels, $3,100 for kitchen appliances and $5,500 for other kitchen items.

She had about $21,000 to her name including $6,000 cash and $14,000 in Ansett superannuation from working at a VIP airport lounge in Canberra in the 1980s. 

Ms d'Alpuget, who revealed in April she had she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, has not spoken publicly about the case and her lawyers declined to comment. 

Ms Dillon suffers from depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and agoraphobia, which can feature a fear of environments such as open spaces.

'I receive the government support pension,' her affidavit stated. 'It is my only income.

'My current gross monthly income is $1,852.40. I struggle to meet my necessary day-to-day living expenses and live from fortnight to fortnight.

'The rent on my apartment is $500 a week. My son David pays the rent. He is on the lease as I am unable to secure or meet the cost of accommodation on my income.'

Ms d'Alpuget raised $671,630 from the sale of Mr Hawke's personal belongings including sporting memorabilia and cigar-smoking paraphernalia in August last year.

That auction of 266 lots had caused friction between Ms Dillon and her stepmother, with one of Ms Dillon's sons texting Ms d'Alpuget, 'Don't you have a limit?'

Paul Dillon took exception to Ms d'Alpuget selling some of his grandfather's possessions including a Harry Bilson painting titled Fairground Carousel, which eventually went for $7,800.

'Blanche, are you kidding with this auction?' Mr Dillon wrote to Ms d'Alpuget according to court documents.

'Selling all the Harry Bilsons? No thought to ask the family to take furniture or anything?!! Don't you have a limit?'

When Ms d'Alpuget replied that she had sent Mr Dillon's texts to a third party he asked why and she answered, 'Well I find it threatening'.

Mr Dillon responded, 'which part?' and Ms d'Alpuget told him she had the right to sell 'stuff that is legally mine'.

Lawyers for Ms Dillon asked in a letter to Ms d'Alpuget that some items being put up for auction to be withdrawn.

'Our client and her sons have requested a number of items of the deceased, including items which had been the property of his wife, Hazel Hawke, be removed from auction and made available in a collection for them,' the letter stated.

Among the items was a gold-plated Raymond Weil Fidelio gold-plated men's watch, one of matching timepieces presented to Mr and Mrs Hawke.

'We are instructed that [Mr Hawke] wore this watch on a daily basis from the time of its presentation until his death and that [Ms Dillon] wears on a daily basis the watch it matches,' the letter said.

'It is our client's position that the watch has significantly greater sentimental value to our client and her children than can be measured at an auction.'

Ms d'Alpuget's lawyers told Ms Dillon the watch would be removed from the auction catalogue and retained by her.

Ms Dillon seems to have mistakenly believed a set of late Victorian silver-plated cutlery had been used for Hawke family Christmas gatherings.

'The cutlery set was gifted to the deceased and Hazel Hawke in 1993,' Ms d'Alpuget's lawyers told Ms Dillon. 

'The set was not used by the Hawke family for celebrations as suggested by your client. It will remain as part of the auction.'

The cutlery, made by Frank Cobb & Co of Sheffield about 1890 and presented in an oak canteen, had an estimate of $1,000 to $1,500 and sold for $7,200.

A request that golf clubs going up for auction be given to Ms Dillon's sons was rejected, with Ms d'Alpuget's lawyers stating 'the deceased gifted many golf clubs to your client's son David Dillon.'

Ms Dillon was told she could have the crystal bowl mentioned in Mr Hawke's will as well as clock which was also going to be sold.

Her lawyers did not respond to a request for comment and neither did her son Paul or Ms Pieters-Hawke.
