Talk:Wilson Tuckey

message: I quote the wikipedia article:
"Despite this, his hard-line conservatism made him a favourite of Howard's after he returned to the leadership in 1995"
Is this the same "hardline conservatism" which caused John Howard to let in record numbers immigrants for 10 straight years?
The same "hardline conservatism" which caused John Howard to be "the best friend medicare has ever had"?
or perhaps it's the same "hardline conservatism" which saw John Howard introduce gun control?
Which is it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.7.137 (talk) 05:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

text: What is incorrect? Are you saying the Howard government was no more socially conservative than the Fraser or Menzies governments? Howard himself boasted that he was the most conservative PM Australia has ever had. Timeshift (talk) 03:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Because he refused boats entry in to Australian waters, and children/truth overboard. Immigration numbers have increased in each government. Fraser increased immigration, Hawke/Keating did beyond that, Howard did beyond that, Rudd did beyond that. The legal numbers you allow to (mostly temporarily) immigrate only paint one small part of the picture. Just see what is said on the internet about it. Timeshift (talk) 03:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

message: As we all know, Wilson Tuckey has a criminal conviction. A criminal record. Every other article in Wikipedia about Australians with criminal records gets the tag Category:Australian Criminals. Is there any reason why an exception be made for a politician? I believe Tuckey is the only politician in Federal Parliament to have a criminal record. I hereby propose the category tag be added to this article. --Lester 06:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Please read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. This isn't even a matter of discussion; you can NOT put claims of that nature into an article on a public figure without very solid sourcing (i.e. that he's known as a criminal, which he patently isn't).

text: Also, having a criminal record and being tagged as a criminal are two quite different things. Paul Omodei and Don Randall both have criminal convictions, for example, but it would not be appropriate to label either as criminals. Orderinchaos 17:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This article needs some level of protection.  The last few months have seen a large number of unregistered users making edits ranging from the unhelpful to the libelous.  I realise we should assume good faith but some of these edits are ridiculous, and given this is a BLP, I think protection is warranted. Lear's Fool (talk) 12:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Wilson Tuckey's page, when discussing how he came to be nicknamed "Ironbar", as well as his arguments with Paul Keating, mentions that John Howard and Keating never talked again due to Tuckey's actions and Howard's refusal to discipline Tuckey. This is of course untrue, as Howard and Keating would have spoken numerous times when Keating became Prime Minister, and Howard Opposition Leader. Also, when Howard defeated Keating to become PM, Keating gave Howard a tour of The Lodge in Canberra.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.122.199.34 (talk) 01:17, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. I just had a look at the source, which is an Annabel Crabb article so ought to be reliable - but does say "never spoke again". But then the whole Tuckey/Keating/Howard triangle doesn't belong in the "Ironbar" section at all. The whole page is a bit of a mess really. --paxman (talk) 11:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
