Biography

Bailey was born in Melbourne, Victoria, the son of W.B. Bailey-Tart and his wife Mary Ethel (née Page). His grandfather was Sir Earle Page, 11th Prime Minister of Australia in 1939. He was educated at South Grafton Primary School, The Armidale School, and Brisbane Grammar School

After finishing his education, Bailey entered the media as a journalist and film producer. Representing the National Party, he was the member for Toowong in the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 1983 until his defeat in 1986.

He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2001 New Year's Honours List for his services to the community of the Port Douglas region through local government and tourism, and to the development of the radio and television industries.

On 28 May 1966 Bailey married Penelope Edith Reilly and together had a son and daughter. In 1992 he was declared bankrupt with debts of $281,827 and assets of only $13,398.

gollark: The main causes of this are:- I wanted it to be interactable with externally via an API of some kind, and operating on text strings for that is kind of æ æa æ ææææ æææ.- I wanted some kind of structured data handling mechanism, partly for APIous purposes - see DokuWiki's `struct` plugin, and a cool feature a random journaling website has where you can use `CAPSTHING: bees` in a page and get tables out- I also thought that the design of all previous Minoteaurs, which made pages entirely text strings, hampered rich editing capabilities (such as "to-do lists" where you could easily check/uncheck things, and arbitrarily-nested-bullet-point "outliner" stuff)
gollark: However, design of this in any detail requires making decisions, which immediately induces apionic "bee" incursions.
gollark: If you want to know what the reworks are to be, and you do, then basically: I wanted to alter the content model, so that pages could contain multiple units of content, and of different kinds.
gollark: Thank you.
gollark: Yes.
