Hawke, Brown and Katter governed winter sport (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bobsled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'winter sport' is the definition.
(I know that Bobsled is a type of winter sport)

'hawke brown and katter governed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'governed' could be 'led' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'led' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bobs' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bobsled that I've seen is " Olympic event".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
