Talk:John Flynn (minister)

Book resources
For Victorian Wikipedians with access to university libraries, there are a large number of books on Flynn in Victorian academic libraries. Just do a search on "John Flynn" on Coolcat (http://www.coolcat.edu.au) and it'll turn up dozens of references. Pick a relevant one and click on the subject "John Flynn (1880-1951)" and you'll get a listing of books just on Flynn himself. --Robert Merkel 20:56, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

P.S. "bv the" should probably be "by the".

Aviator?
Was John Flynn really an aviator? I know he started an air ambulance service, but does that mean he flew himself? I'm prepared to be wrong, but if not we need to think about renaming this article.

Answer: John Flynn was a Presbyterian Minister. He was not an Aviator.

 * Seeing as no one has relied in nearly two months, I will go ahead and move this page to John Flynn (minister). Blarneytherinosaur 07:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced criticism?
The article contains the line "Much of the money donated to the RFDS over the next decades really went toward maintaining these prohibitions." It's uncited, and sounds POV pushing - not sure if a 'citation needed' would do the job, or if simply deleting the line would be better? Any input? MurfleMan (talk) 23:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I hadn't noticed that. Does sound like POV pushing, so I've removed it. We can always put it back in if someone can produce a source (anyone got the RFDS annual reports for the 1930s? :P ). Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 23:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Bob Hughes, Postmaster-General
Who was this person? There's certainly been no Commonwealth Postmaster-General of that name - see Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (Australia) - and Google gives me zero relevant hits for "Bob Hughes Postmaster General". -- JackofOz (talk) 23:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.163.91 (talk) 06:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
