The statement that "During the 1934 election campaign Blain promised to resign from parliament if the Northern Territory representative was not granted full voting rights in parliament. He reneged on this promise but continued to campaign for greater Territory control of Northern Territory affairs." seems to ignore that in 1936 the member for the Northern Territory gained limited voting rights for the first time. And a bit more is needed on his time in Borneo as a POW including his famous letter that was smuggled out by an escaped POW and delivered to the Australian Minister for the Army.--Anthony Staunton (talk) 06:58, 6 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Pretty sure he didn't have that nickname. 119.63.217.73 (talk) 03:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

My recollection is that he actually did, but I don't have access to the sources right now to prove it. It could certainly use a reference. Frickeg (talk) 06:45, 15 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

In my research to the article, there were certainly references to Blain being known as "Chill". Lord knows why I didn't include a ref at the time. --Roisterer (talk) 07:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
