Talk:John Anderson (Australian politician)

message: can i suggest that if anderson is exhonerated of involvement of bribery (which i believe he will be) that that section is removed. Xtra 13:11, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Accusation and exoneration

message: You are clearly being unreasonable and pompous on this issue Dr Carr. While these statements may be in the form of humour, they are valid political statements in which Anderson takes a shot at the Greens. As a Liberal, I support these statements and do not see them as jokes. It is a reflection of Anderson's view, and after observing Anderson for 6 or so years you would know as well as I know that Anderson is rarely serious when stating his view, although the degree tends to vary. Please do not attempt to remove the quotes again, or I will call in the Administrators, and they can decide the validity of these political statements. And believe me, from outside Australia where their views on Australian politics are less serious to them, they will support me. Evolver of Borg 09:24, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of "Jokes" 

message: He actually said "prostrate condition." I suppose he meant "prostate" but I'm not sure about the ethics of falsifying the record in this way. Adam 05:07, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Resignation

message: "He will remain as Member for Gwydir until the 2007 election, and has not ruled out standing for another term"
This has become moot,as the seat of Gwydir is being absorbed into the seat of Parkes.Serenacw 09:04, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove? 

message: No mention has been made in the article to Mr Anderson's deep Christian faith or to the biography that was published last year. I thought a change in the article's title might be appropriate as well, something like John Anderson (Fromer Deputy Prime Minister Of Australia) or something similar that clearly identifies that he wasn't just an MP. Comments anyone? 203.36.120.5 02:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Faith and Duty 

message: There is an informative interview with Andrew Denton at http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s1627424.htm that discusses his faith and the loss of his fifth child. Some of it might be appropriate for inclusion. Bendav (talk) 21:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Thought I'd try my hand at a BLP of a National Party figure. Since leaving the role of Deputy_Prime_Minister_of_Australia this subject has actually gone on to do a lot of social and political thinking through interviews with progressive figures like Jonathan Haidt and conservative thinkers such as Jordan Peterson. I'd like to expand into that, as well as putting more flesh on beliefs and early life.The Little Platoon (talk) 07:42, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Go for it. This article is getting a fair bit of traffic as a result of him re-becoming a public figure. Hopefully there is some reliable sourcing that covers his recent activities. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 12:09, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. If anything, the subject of the article is more notable now than ever before. Here's one good reliable source. It's behind a paywall. But if you click on the link without having visited the site recently, you should be able to see the article, in which case you can print it out and rely upon the printout without having to try to get behind the paywall again. (I always smile when I read the comment "still ludicrously handsome" at the start of the article, which I first read when it was published in print. I'm a bloke, so he's never turned me on, but I agree that he's good looking.) Bahnfrend (talk) 11:43, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. As I've disclosed on my user page, I do work currently in Parliament, I get moved around a lot, I don't take instruction or approval on anything I write. I contribute to articles on ALP figures, Liberal figures too. I've disclosed this to the Conflict of Interest Notice board   This will be the first time I've looked at a National. I don't disclose further because if I did people in Parliament would work out who I am and then people would start giving me instructions on what to write or try to change things on their articles. I just don't need that and it would distort the articles. This way I can keep everything balanced and neutral. The Little Platoon (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Beautiful work I'm hoping to build on what you've done in the next few weeks.The Little Platoon (talk) 01:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updates for 2020 

message: I have just redacted the following passage:
" ... perhaps most well known and most viewed on his YouTube Channel, public intellectual and psychologist, Jordan B. Peterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4NijLf3M-A&t=124s  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9m6T4dQObc
I will be surprised if I need to explain why, but in brief: The youtube videos cited as refs are not WP:RS. They are recordings of interviews done by the subject of the article. The other gratuitous link to JA's youtube channel serves no purpose and would appear to promotional. And the whole thing is kicked off with "perhaps". nuff said.
I have no issue of (with) having Peterson's name added to the list of names that JA has interviewed, (and I left it there) but the rest of it is guff. Wayne 12:54, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
