I wrote the first draft of this article but I haven't touched on a couple of issues that could prove interesting (for reasons of lack of information at fingertips);

Ward's role in the 1950s ALP split
How his opposition to the Bretton Woods Agreement and the World Bank has led to Ward's appropriation by the LaRouchites.

If anyone can add something of substance about these two issues, it would really help the article. --Roisterer 11:39, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

OK, just who considers/considered the Australian ministries to be the "equivalent of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster" - [1]? If the case must be made that they were a sinecure, why cannot that simply be said, without dragging in irrelevant allusions to faraway places? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 08:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it seems like a very odd comparison to make but if there's a source somewhere supporting this, I'd love to see it. --Roisterer (talk) 00:48, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
