Talk:Martin Hamilton-Smith

message: Does anyone know what basis MHS puts on his statement that 2006 was the lowest Liberal result since World War 2? Looking at Question 19 on http://www.seo.sa.gov.au/apps/uploadedFiles/news/276/SEO_QA06_13feb06.pdf the closest the Libs came is in 1938 where based on a 39 seat assembly, the Libs won 15 seats (with 12 ind and 1 single tax league mind you)? Or is he talking about the 33% primary vote where Labor got 26%? I'd like to know which election MHS may be referring to and on what basis the claim is made... Timeshift 08:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have an event with Mr Hamilton-Smith today, so I'll try and take a freely-licensed photo. It might be a bit difficult, but here's hoping :)--cj | talk 00:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Free image

message: That's the headline for this article. Tell me, how can one reconcile that headline with the poll results showing for "should there be a by-election in Waite", 41% say yes, 43% say no, and "do you feel betrayed by his decision", 42% say yes and 46% say no..........? Am I just dumb? Timeshift (talk) 04:04, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Survey of Martin Hamilton-Smith’s electorate reveals huge opposition to his defecting to Labor government" 

message: "It had been suggested that the abstained MP is either the man that Hamilton-Smith had ousted, Iain Evans or former frontbencher Mitch Williams but both refused to comment on this suggestion" - this is speculation. Just because it's in The Australian it doesn't change the fact it is speculation. I don't want to get in to an edit war so other editors' input is welcome. Timeshift (talk) 02:03, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, agreed. Possibly, if it was covered in multiple sources (including, hopefully, at least one non-newspaper source), it might be worth including from a historical perspective. Frickeg (talk) 03:16, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
