I personally share this article's anti-Bond sentiment, but IMHO the general tone and language (e.g. "salted away") aren't really appropriate for a Wikipedia article. Bond's track record is damning enough without the need for loaded language. --Calair 01:11, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Don't overlook about the ambitious current ventures with which Alan Bond is involved such as diamonds in Lesotho and onshore oil in Madagascar. See artcles in the West Australian and elsewhere.
Is Toohey's available anywhere in the USA anymore? I remember its giant cans quite fondly from when I was just old enough to drink many years ago and haven't seen it in quite a while. This article brought back old memories. Rlquall 02:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
The page has been changed to remove all references to the massive criminal case for fraud for which Alan Bond went to gaol. Since it's pretty much common knowledge in Australia I'd say this is pretty notable. I'm hesitant to just revert though since there seems to be some good stuff in the modifications as well. --60.241.171.45 00:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I have a scanned document from the W.A. Police Gazette December 1952 where Alan Bond fronted Perth Children's Court 05/09/1952 on charges of Unlawfully on premises and stealing and was committed to 2 years in an institution. It also staes in the records that he did have priors for stealing. Should this be on the page? It is public record also. Quite ironic really! Stevefrommelbourne (talk) 06:58, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
It's been reported in the Fairfax media (SMH etc), I think that counts as a reasonably reputable source, I'll add it to the article. Drpixie (talk) 05:35, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Was the picture taken in 1987 or did Bond buy it in 1987? Picture caption requires updating. Anyone know the answer?? Thanks, Boatman (talk) 07:47, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
I had to delete this dead Macquarie News (Livenews) citation, owing to this September 2009 report that the broadcaster has pulled the plug on the website. Also this one from The Australian was a defunct link. The content is still adequately supported by an SMH citation. In any event, Bond's return to riches seems to have been short-lived, as per a new Adelaide Sunday Mail citation I've added. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 07:48, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
..when the deaths are non suspicious...i spent 20 years in the police and i know for a fact. why would they? if it's not a coroners matter then the body is not their concern. by all means do what you will but i was lead to believe facts could be submitted to wikipedia. this appears to no longer be the case. every newspaper in the country has released the news of the death of his wife but not here? we need a new free online enclopedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.61.196 (talk) 04:35, 29 January 2012 (UTC) Yes that does appear to be the case in most circumstances. This matter may be a coroners matter though. But police have nothing to do with the majority of deaths that occur that is a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonken (talk • contribs) 03:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
The ages given do not agree with the theory that his sister was the elder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.204.30 (talk) 17:31, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. We have consensus that this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Cúchullain t/c 20:17, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
– Of the 4 Alan Bonds listed on the dab page, 2 are redlinks so can be ignored as potential primary topics. The other one is an engineer, who gets about 15-30 page views per day, with very little coverage in secondary sources other than a single TV documentary. Before his recent death, the businessman was getting over 100 per day on most days, obviously a huge spike in the last few days. Google counts are impossible to use, due to the blanket coverage of his death. The-Pope (talk) 13:23, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Currently there is a redirect for Bond Corporation to here, however I think the corporation is notable enough to deserve it's own page, especially when compared to similar companies such as Qintex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bravetheif (talk • contribs) 14:02, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
