Talk:Andrew Robb

message: The article says that he assumed office on 9 October 2004. That is wrong because that was when he first elected to Parliament. Robb assumes office when he was sworn in later on. The articles on US politicians states the date they assume office is the day they were sworn in not the day they were elected. So why not do the same with Australian politicians.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Shadow Treasurer (talk • contribs) 07:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assumed office 

message: In response to  If you are going to delete his religion, do so for every single Australian politician and then come back to delete this one. Most politicans would like their religious affiliation known; 
It doesn't matter what a politician wants on the wikipedia article about them, articles are not promotional and need to comply with wikipedia policy and consensus and a consensus has been formed that religion not be added to politician's articles unless it is a significant part of their public life such as Tony Abbott or Kevin Rudd.  Even then it should be added to the body of the article not the infobox.  If religion is in other articles about politicians please feel free to remove it.

message: Religion neither relevant nor irrelevant, it is simply giving the reader a piece of information about the individual. There is absolutely no reason to not add it if it is sourced, which in this case, it is. There's not much more to say... why would wikipedia give the option to add the religion of an individual in the infobox if it was so irrelevant. The source is there, so why not simply add it.

replies: text: I consider religion a private matter. If you want to wear it on your sleeve, your choice. If you want to hide it, or say 'I don't do religion', your choice, too. Most people, including politicians, are not so much influenced by religion, but by pragmatism, although to some of their clientele reference to religion sounds good. Religion is a nothing burger because most people have bigger problems to solve in 2024. . 2001:8003:A070:7F00:5DA5:F4BD:75DE:92E6 (talk) 23:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

message: An editor has removed the paragraph about Landbridge, with the edit summary "misleading innuendo". Looking at the sources, the deleted content seems to be substantially supported by them, and we should not be deleting relevant and reliably sourced content, even if embarrassing to the subject. However, I was not able to rigorously verify every single statement in a reasonable time (I didn't attempt to watch the video of the Four Corners program), so in the interests of caution in view of the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy I am not going to restore the material myself. There is clearly at least some material that can be reinstated, though. If someone wants to do so, given that it is clearly of a controversial nature, could I please encourage you to go through and reference every single claim separately to the relevant source that supports it, for ease of verification -- and in the case of anything sourced from the Four Corners program, to put into the footnote the time offset where the claim is made, so that people do not need to sift through 47 minutes in order to verify the claim. Thank you. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 19:45, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: actually, I will reinstate the first sentence of that paragraph, together with its source, because that much is easy to verify. But the rest I will leave to others: there are clearly various allegations, but I did not find anything clear in the written sources regarding a personal donation or about the timing of accepting the post, and it is in relation to these claims that more precise referencing is needed. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 19:55, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Update 2: actually, the Guardian article is clear that he accepted the job while still an MP. I will restore that also. This still leaves some of the deleted content that I am not prepared to restore myself. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 20:04, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
