Since retirement, Tim Fischer has also taken on at least one company directorship, that of the very old Australian Agricultural Company established in 1824. This company operated the first freight railway of any kind in Australia.

The article is a bit POV and talks about current political history without referring to the appropriate articles. Andjam 15:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

No mention of his keenness for recreational walking, and his annual trips to the Snowys over summer.

I believe the section about the austistic son attacking the media is incorrect (and that Martin/Molloy ridiculed this) - from memory it was (late) Senator Mal Colston's son who did this. Ninevah 05:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, whether it is Tim Fischer's or Mal Colston's son, the reference to the son's behaviour is innapropriate as it adds nothing to our understanding of Tim Fischer. Reporting the condition is 'fair use' as it explains some of Tim's concerns, but going beyond that is simply intruding into his son's private life with no justification. If someone wants to undersand how difficult autism is they should look up the appropriate article in Wiki, there is no need to illustrate it with examples of his son's behaviour. I have deleted the reference. Anyone is welcome to debate my amendment here. Regards, Tban 13:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
