[edit] Stubbing

I have stubbed this article. One, its lone source, SourceWatch, is NOT a reliable source. It can be edited by anyone. Check here. Two, Google turns up nothing on this person, beyond the SourceWatch listing. It turns up plenty of people by the name Jim Carlton, yes, but not of the fellow apparently the subject of the article. Therefore, without verifiability, and for all I can determine independently, this article could be nothing more than a somewhat elaborate (create an article at SourceWatch, cite it in WP, and then defend it as a reliable source as was done here), very plausible-sounding hoax.

Do you really need help using Google? Try searching for "Jim Carlton" and "Malcolm Fraser". It's not hard. --Steve _(Slf67) ^talk 11:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Interesting that "google turns up nothing", yet the Australian parliament website mentions him repeatedly. These assertions are really amusing. Guettarda 15:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
