[edit] Communism Statement
What is meant by this statement "Having abandoned Communism and joined the Australian Labor Party," does this imply that Jim Bacon was a former communist. Or it could imply that being a member of a trade union makes him a communist. Can someone explain. Kyle sb 08:15, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
As the article states, he was a Maoist at university. Specifically, he was a supporter and probably a member of the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist). Adam 08:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Oh cool. I missed the Maoist line. Thanks Kyle sb 08:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm not so sure that we can use that newly added picture. It was tagged with "This is a photograph of a member of the Parliament of Australia from an official government source, and is held under Australian Crown copyright." But he is a Tasmanian, not Australian, member of parliament. -- Barrylb 19:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
