Firstly, Hulls branded Baillieu the 'toff from Toorak.' This has little currency in the public sphere, and should be removed.

Secondly, no other politicians listed on WIkipedia have the suburb where they are raised mentioned, so why should does Baillieu's entry mention Toorak? Either remove it and therefore conform to the consistent content other entries, or enter the suburb of raising for every other Australian politician.

Or perhaps this is another forum for sledging the wealthy?

C'mon wikipedia, you're better than that.

OK, fine. I'll do it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.194.13.104 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Att: Rebecca

No one appreciates your cutting and editing of articles without any discussion.

Comments offered by someone else, both valid, are decreed by you as not valid. Why? The comments by the previous person, albeit not logged in, are important, and he or she does raises an interesting point. Why is there no recognition, just a quick erasure?

Doesn't sound like a fair, unbiased reference system that all are able to change and amend at all, just a mouthpiece for your ideology.

Unbelieveable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.212.133.75 (talk • contribs).

Wikipedia encourages editing without asking first (unless there is a good reason to). Xtra 07:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm a Baillieu supporter, and proud of it. Please don't jump to conclusions. Rebecca 19:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
