Talk:Bob Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Left wing bias in article

I refer to this quote: "getting to the 14.3 percent quota from 19 group voting ticket party preferences: Australian Independents Party, Australian Stable Population Party, Liberal Democratic Party, Smokers Rights Party, No Carbon Tax Climate Sceptics, Building Australia Party, Rise Up Australia Party, Katter's Australian Party, One Nation, Australian Fishing and Lifestyle Party, Australian Christians, Shooters and Fishers, Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party, Democratic Labor Party, Animal Justice Party, Australian Greens, Palmer United Party, HEMP Party, Australian Labor Party"

There seems to be a left wing bias. For instance, when the Greens first entered Parliament, there was no talk of how they used smaller minor parties, and an enlisting of all the different party preferences they used, to enter parliament.

I think the notion that is trying to be pushed is quite evident: Bob Day would not have been voted in, if he didn't have the support of these micro parties. This is an encyclopaedia, not a politicking tool. 129.180.137.107 (talk) 12:04, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Quote attributed to Bob Day

Specific quote from article inserted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bell20 (talk • contribs) 06:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Bell20 (talk · contribs) has twice sought to include a quote attributed to Bob Day. Edit 1 was reverted by Timeshift9 (talk · contribs) with the comment "removed added quote, not in the paragraph reference." Edit 2 had a comment which referred to the article "Bob Day accused of 'sham contracting' before building business went belly up"., which is basically the same article in a different Fairfax publication and was reverted by me.

This article is about a living person and must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, which requires the quote to be properly sourced. The difficulty is not the quote, but rather the absence of proper sourcing. -- Find bruce (talk) 06:34, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Political affiliation

Bob Day was No 2 on the Trumpet of Patriots senate ticket in 2025. Trumpet of Patriots is no longer a political party. He was, and remains, the Federal Director of the Australian Family Party and is contesting the 2026 SA State election. Bell20 (talk) 00:28, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Then it should be easy to provide a reliable source supporting that fact. HiLo48 (talk) 00:42, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
