Well, it is a Baltic organization in Australia, not an Australian organization per se. FFI please see the State library of New South Wales: The Joint Baltic Committee was formed by representatives of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian communities in Sydney in 1952, + Lia Looveer was a member of the Board of the Estonian Society of Sydney and office manager of the Estonian weekly Meie Rodo, 1956-1966.--Termer (talk) 05:43, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
User:PasswordUsername edit warring over category
User:PasswordUsername thinks the Category:Estonian politicians is based upon ethnicity, but it is in fact based upon nationality. As far as I know Lia Looveer was a dual Australian/Estonian national. --Martintg (talk) 03:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I rather expected it might be both, as the "Lists of..." Estonians, Latvian, and Lithuanians include both. VЄСRUМВА 13:45, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- PasswordUsername (whoever might that be?) doesn't think Category:Estonian politicians is based upon ethnicity, descent, or birth location. He thinks it is based on nationality, here meaning where the person actively participates in politics , although Vecrumba apparently thinks the reverse , Martintg. ;-) If politician categories were classified by ethnicity, Theodore Roosevelt would be a Dutchman, while Alfred Rosenberg would be Estonian.

- Lia Looveer had dual Australian/Estonian nationality, so what is User:PasswordUsername arguing about? --Martintg (talk) 22:16, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- He means that she wasn't active in Estonian politics, as he explained. Croatian Prime Minister Hrvoje Šarinić is a dual Croatian-French citizen, but he's not a "French politician" because of it. Anti-Nationalist (talk) 22:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Was Looveer a Nazi collaborator?
Wasn't she a Nazi collaborator? According to this link , Looveer, worked for Baltic Radio in Nazi Germany, 1944-45. I wonder why her son had no need to hide this sort of thing. I am also wondering if the Australian public was largely aware of this fact. Anti-Nationalist (talk) 02:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages describes collaborationism as
I don't think a case (one out of thousands) of a Baltic person having fled the country as the Soviet occupants seized tyhe land and working for some months for a rather unknown German radio warrants the label 'Nazi collaborator'. Similarly, chairmen of minor kolkhozes in the ESSR aren't usually described as Soviet collaborators. --Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 17:08, 29 October 2009 (UTC)the treason of cooperating with enemy forces occupying one's country. As such it implies criminal deeds in the service of the occupying power, including complicity with the occupying power in murder, persecutions, pillage, and economic exploitation as well as participation in a puppet government.
