Several people on the ABC have claimed that Kearney is the first nurse to be elected to the House of Representatives (Fran Kelly on Insiders), or even the federal parliament (Annabel Crabb on the SA Votes coverage). This Wikidata query shows there were two others (Wendy Fatin and Trish Worth). I believe they have corrected it now, but just in case someone adds this claim to the article... --Canley (talk) 02:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Very late in ABC coverage Crabb also mentioned Sue West and Judith Adams as other nurses who had served in federal parliament. Frickeg (talk) 03:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
Also Shirley Walters, Patricia Giles and Olive Zakharov. Yes, Crabb said she had been copping it on Twitter after saying that! Insiders also tweeted a correction after the broadcast citing Fatin and Worth. I saw the ABC did a feature on former occupations of current MPs a few days earlier, which noted there were currently no former nurses in parliament—I guess that was misinterpreted a bit. --Canley (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
