Untitled

According to a Australian article, it says he left Brisbane Grammar yet somehow he subsequently entered Law School at UQ. Does anyone know where he finished his schooling to enter UQ Law?

I've got his autobiography lying around here somewhere, so I'll have a look a bit later and see if I can find out for you. Rebecca 01:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Preferences

The Communist Party candidate was the first to be knocked out, and so had little effect on the final result. The Democratic Labor Party's preferences were what won Killen the seat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.96.240 (talk) 04:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Or perhaps the donkey vote, though in the count it transferred ideologically - see Andrew Bartlett's analysis and the actual count figures at Sir James Killen: Moreton, Menzies and Mythology. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wit and Larrikin

Although the article refers to Killen as a wit, with friendships from both sides of parliament, it does not mention that he was also considered a larrakin, often playing pranks on other members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.96.240 (talk) 05:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
