Adam, you have repeatedly deleted the following information from this article:

  • "According to Bill Shorten, National Secretary of the AWU, "...at the age of eight he witnessed first hand the rebellion at the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat which was where he reported that he got his first taste for fighting in defence of Liberty and Justice.""
  • "By the 1890s he had become active in the political arena. He spoke in favor of the "common good," a concept akin to the General Welfare reference in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution:

  • "In 1898 Spence entered politics himself, becoming MP for Cobar in western New South Wales, and became a key member of King O'Malley's "torpedo brigade", which organised the Labor caucus in Parliament to vote for O'Malley's Commonwealth Bank."

Are you disputing the accuracy of these items, or are you making an ostentatious display of contempt for the Misplaced Pages NPOV policy?
