Albert Hawke → Bert Hawke – More commonly known as Bert Hawke. See the following:

On Trove, "Bert Hawke" has about twice the number of uses as "Albert Hawke". See https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/newspapers?keyword=albert%20hawke&l-decade=195&l-state=Western%20Australia and https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/newspapers?keyword=bert%20hawke&l-decade=195&l-state=Western%20Australia, when restricting to Western Australian in the 1950s, when Hawke was premier.
