Revision as of 14:12, 30 October 2005 by 1717 (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Adam's edit has now turned this article into a propaganda diatribe against O'Malley. It needs to be extensively re-written. --14:58, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Adam, you have repeatedly deleted the following information from this article:
- "In 1889, after working on the campaign of U.S. President James Garfield, he migrated to Queensland."
- "He also agitated for the establishment of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, a National bank. In a speech in federal Parliament on his proposed national bank on Sept. 30, 1909, O'Malley emphasized, "The private banking system of the Commonwealth is only a legalized monopoly for the gathering of wealth from the many, and its concentration in the hands of the privileged few... We are legislating for the countless multitudes of future generations. We are in favour of protecting, not only the manufacturer, but also the man who works for him. We wish to protect the oppressed and downtrodden of the earth." The Hamiltonian system should be counterposed to this, he said, adding, "I am the Hamilton of Australia. He was the greatest financial man who ever walked this earth, and his plans have never been improved upon. The American experience should determine us to establish a national banking system which cannot be attacked.""
Are you disputing the accuracy of these items, or are you making an ostentatious display of contempt for the Misplaced Pages NPOV policy?

For the record, the paragraph that User:Herschelkrustofsky complains has been removed was copied directly from an article, "Australia: The strategic implications of Pauline Hanson's election victory", on a LaRouche site, the Executive Intelligence Review. This copying was a direct violation on a ban by the Arbitration Committee on the addition of LaRouche material to articles that are not "closely related" to the LaRouche movement. That HK not only made this banned edit but then went on to defended it by attacking the editors who tried to remove it is evidence of a problem which is currently being addressed (again) by the Arbitration Committee.
