I removed a bunch of poorly-spelt bigoted nonsense.Ordinary Person 03:38, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Something to add

He was arrested again in 2004. [1] [2]. Seems to have been found guilty and sent back to jail [3] though I haven't found anything official on that.

A more important omision is the fact that he was/is the leader of the Australian National Movement. (ANM). There are some photos and quite a bit of information at [4]. Regards, Ben Aveling 06:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

removed this quote;

'As with every almost other member that NA has ever had, Jack quit and went off to form his own organisation, believing NA were being soft on Jews.'

This is not NPOV and is unprovable. I highly doubt over 50% of NA members attempted to form new right wing parties. If I'm wrong, please cite evidence. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PaganSocialist (talk • contribs) 10:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

somewhat hilariously, itss truer than you might imagine. Everybody wants to be fuhror in the australian fascist scene Duckmonster (talk) 02:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Art

Nothing about his hobby as an artist, and the fact that many of his paintings have sold for large amounts of money? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.45.211 (talk) 14:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

POV link

Could I suggest that the link to the "kangaroo reich" be marked as a ultra-right conspiracy page. The author Jim Saleam, while quite an articulate man, is the other main australian Neo Nazi leader, and has been charged with some fairly serious terror incidents himself (ordered a shotgun attack on a representative of the african national congress).

Listed as a contemporary white supremacist

I've added Jack van Tongeren to White_supremacy#Contemporary_white_supremacists. Cheers, CWC(talk) 12:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Military History

This person was a soldier once but neither that is the reason why he has article nor anything of his service time is mentioned. Thus, until some new information is added to the artilce why he should be under WikiMilHist he has been removed. Ikokki 23:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old copyright violation removed

I have removed content, here, that dated back to an edit on 3 March 2006, here. It appears it was originally copied from The Age newspaper here. Several sentences were still unaltered from that date! Content can go back if re-written in "own words" per WP guidelines, and properly cited, which it wasn't as it had no footnotes. 220 of ^Borg 21:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article importance

I don’t agree that the article rates a “low” importance for the WA project. These crimes are still remembered within the community some 20-30 years after occurring. It caused significant racial tensions during the late 1980s. Adondai (talk) 03:38, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
