English term or phrase: Party's hosts
The hosts of Australia's 1980s party were its Labor prime minister Bob Hawke and treasurer Paul Keating. They also presided over economic reforms.


What "Party's hosts" stands for in this context? Is it pun for the word "Party"?

Thanks in advance,

the people in charge during the boom
Explanation:
Party simply means that people were enjoying themselves.

"The 1980s was a decade of contrasts. The Australian economy was booming - property values skyrocketed and many businesses made large profits. Many people became pre-occupied with making money and of course, spending it. Fashion, music and television from the decade was glitzy, showy and glamorous. For this reason, the 1980s is sometimes called the 'me decade'- a reference to the prevailing climate of economic greed and consumption."
