Talk:Peter Garrett

message: It is irrelevant to Garrett. I don't think the last couple of paras should be there either. Your addition in particular carries undue weight. If you wish to add it, please seek consensus here. Should users agree with you, it can then be re-added. Timeshift (talk) 05:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How is rejection by Garrett himself of a $5.3billion project in his capacity as Environment Minister (declared "a project of State Significance" and "Australia's largest coal project" by the Queensland government ) irrelevant to Garrett? Especially if this is headed to federal court? Frankly, lots of Queenslanders will find it relevant to Garrett, as much as approval of port dredging or an uranium mine is relevant to Garrett.

replies: text: Government decisions (made by ministers on behalf of the government) should not be in individual ministers articles, otherwise the articles just become a laundry list. Unless it's something groundbreaking, ie: Kevin Andrews/WorkChoices. I think the majority would agree with me. Timeshift (talk) 06:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

text:  No, I agree with Rudykruger in that policy decisions approved by Garrett are entirely relevant.  Kaitwith  talk  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.217.196.205 (talk) 09:23, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

text:  Concur that its relevant. Peter Garrett is a man with a lot of community expectations about his conduct due to his past, and when those expectations do or do not align in newsworthy ways then its relevant because it tells us something about the underlying dynamics of his relationship to his government, as well as perhaps a bit about himself too 59.167.111.154 (talk) 11:01, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

message: What happened to Peter Garrett to cause his facial disfiguration? He apparently didn't always look that way (the way of the photo on the article page), so what happened to change the way he looked? Regards Stevenmitchell (talk) 08:27, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Peter Garrett's Face

message: I can understand this discussion but I can't understand the blanking?  Shouldn't the information STAY until new wording is created? Also, wasn't the four deaths and fires related to HIP because the householders only took up the insulation and the workers were only installing BECAUSE of the HIP program?
With Garrett's page - I'm putting this part back in - It was revealed in May 2010 that Mr Garrett had written to the then Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, on four separate occasions raising concerns about safety. Rudd admits insulation scheme mistakes Australian Broadcasting Corporation 28 May 2010 as it is fact.
This part - I can understand why it is POV - maybe it should be placed in Rudd's page but I still think it explains the demotion of Garrett under the HIP program so can you please inform me why you think it is POV and should be deleted?
And with the above discussion - I guess the agreed wording for Rudd's page should be included on Garrett's page  Cheers CanberraBulldog (talk) 02:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the entire paragraph on the Rudd page explaining the insulation situation needs a proper overhaul, and can then be applied to this page. What I don't like seeing is continuing the News Ltd lie that the scheme caused deaths and fires - it actually had the opposite effect of saving lives and reducing fires. Timeshift (talk) 02:56, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

text: Have you read the article explaining how that whole line of attack is bunkus? The scheme saw the rate of fires and deaths drop with the introduction of the scheme. Timeshift (talk) 03:01, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

text: You're moving the goalposts. There is a rate of death and fire in any home insulation industry, government or non government supported. Timeshift (talk) 03:18, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

text: Linked/related/tied/blamed by News Ltd, not by truth. The number of homes that were done under the scheme, there was a lower incidence of fire or death than there had previously been - not more. Timeshift (talk) 03:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

text: But is it noteable in such a risky industry where deaths and fires occur anyway? That is the crux. Timeshift (talk) 03:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

text: I'm not saying it shouldn't be. I'm saying that a para needs to be drafted that addresses the issues. At the moment it tells an extremely POV story that is completely out of context. Timeshift (talk) 04:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

message: IN an article in the New Zealand Herald of 26/1/24 Garrett claims to be Aboriginal. "Here’s the good oil - Peter Garrett is an indigenous man for an indigenous Waitangi occasion". Is he? If so, what is his tribal affiliation? Why has he never identified himself this way before? It would have been positive for his mob if he had done so. Unusual to be claiming this so late in life, or is he, like several others, only claiming 'affiliation' with a particular tribe? 203.129.28.129 (talk) 04:28, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a link to that article? Is there a quote saying Garret claims to be Aboriginal (as opposed to the quote you supplied in which the NZ Herald claims that Garrett is indigenous)? Mitch Ames (talk) 04:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
