I am guessing here, but I would assume that most Australians, noted worldwide for their racy English, would say "The man on the Bondi Tram" not "A hypothetical person on a hypothetical Bondi Tram"? That may be how the court put it but not how it would be in daily use? Just a guess.
Also as a minor point, "Person" may be acceptable here if genuine, but if it was "man" then it should say so. It was definitely for example a man on the Clapham omnnibus, not a woman, or a person. SimonTrew ( talk) 03:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
When I was studying law at UTS ten years ago, it wasn't the man on the Bondi tram, but "the man on the train to Richmond". I assume that meant Richmond-bound in Sydney, not the inner-city Melbourne suburb. Whophd ( talk) 11:24, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Is "Eloquent" in the article NPOV? I might find it a completely dull and overblown judgment. I could see a word like "important" or "leading" or something, but this seems rather subjective. SimonTrew ( talk) 01:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
I propose to delete the paragraph "The term was used once by D. Kelly Weisberg in her work Feminist Legal Theory: Foundations". The term is used millions of times by millions of people all the time. I don't think a reference to this person's book is merited (perhaps it's just an attempt at self publicity?) 86.176.29.232 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC).
I propose to reformat the citations so that they take the form of short citations for two reasons. It will make the text easier to read when editing it and it will allow different pages from the same citation to be cited more easily and clearly. -- PBS ( talk) 08:27, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
