Most of this article appears to be copied from http://news.ninemsn.com.au/general.aspx?id=63374. All the author has done is changed phrases like "which has spanned" into "spanning". This article is more like a copy rather than a paraphrased version of the source.


 * Ah. That explains the phrases like this one:  "Oakes's political commentary is often cutting"  (sic) And also this one:  "His interviewing style is equally incisive, and based on good research"    203.214.155.23 10:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

His weight loss
Laurie's been known for decades as a very, very big man, but of recent months he's lost a great deal of weight. He looks pretty healthy, so I presume it's diet/exercise/stomach stapling/whatever and not some horrible disease. Does anyone know his secret? -- JackofOz 15:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

No idea yet... I hope he is well though and not suffering from a condition such as cancer... Romen (talk) 13:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Someone needs to document his incredbile weight loss tips please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 (talk) 10:33, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Whatever it was it did not last. By 2012 he had supassed his previous largest size. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.7.194.226 (talk) 02:34, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
