Early life section

The comment about Zed's early life (first added here [1]) - that he recalls from childhood being called black - has been removed for a second time [2] and it should remain unmentioned in the article.

While the comment is sourced to this Canberra Times article, the article does not make an observation about Zed Seselja's appearance like "relatively swarthy complexion" -- this is not neutral comment. Given this and the statement's general relevance (not much -- its a one-liner from a newspiece and not generally relevant to his biography or the surrounding statements in the wiki article), it should stay removed.

I support re-adding the children's ages as they are sourced, but generally caution against including too many (although sourced) factual tidbits about Mr Seselja's parents unless the article finds a way to weave their relevance to Mr Seselja more aptly. Remember that the article is about him and while a detailed work history for him may be relevant, one for his parents maybe not so.
