Talk:Jon Stanhope

message: Unbelievable that until I made the latest adjustment to this article that no one seems to notice that Stanhope is in fact the longest serving ACT Chief Minister. Until I made this addition people only seem to notice that Stanhope is currently the longest serving head of government of the current nine heads of Federal, State and Territory Governments. Obviously no one bother to check out his local record as Chief Minister of the ACT. The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 03:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps we knew but didn't bother to add it as it's not all that significant when the parliament has only been in existance for two decades. Timeshift (talk) 03:35, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Longest serving Chief Minister 

message: This continual uncited, completely WP:POV rubbish needs dealing with. Random IPs just won't cease. Perhaps a semi-protect is warranted? Timeshift (talk) 09:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done a bit of a clean-up on this article, but more is still to be done. In short, there in much in this articel that relates to the Stanhope Government, and less so that actually related to Stanhope, himself. I have removed matters of limited relvance and condensed, where possible. The Topsfield article in The Age has helped improve a large number of missing citations; but there is still some missing, as identified. Jherschel (talk) 15:43, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Now that he is no longer Chief Minister, when does he resign being the member of Ginninderra, etc? CanberraBulldog (talk) 12:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought he was Chief Minister up until the 16 May 2011 (Monday)? Bidgee (talk) 12:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That was my original understanding of his plans, but for reasons he explained on the radio this morning involving allowing time for the gazettal of a special meeting of the Assembly on Monday to elect his successor (the gazettal can't happen until the office is vacant), he resigned the office of Chief Minister effective close of business yesterday (12 May). See  for some confirmation (not very good, I admit, but it's about the best we can get until his letter to the Speaker is tabled in Parliament, which I assume will happen on Monday). He will (as far as I know) resign his position as a member of the Assembly for Ginninderra soon after the election of the new Chief Minister on Monday 16 May. At that point his seat will remain vacant until approximately 10 days after the Electoral Commission publishes a notice calling for unsuccessful candidates for his seat at the last election to express interest in the casual vacancy, at which point the votes will be distributed again and a new member declared elected. bou·le·var·dier (talk) 12:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The page reports Mr Stanhope has "Five children", citing an article from The Age "Sticking to his guns" https://www.theage.com.au/national/sticking-to-his-guns-20051022-ge13i0.html 
But the article (published in 2005 when Mr Stanhope was 54 years old) states: "In Canberra, he met Robyn, a palliative care nurse and counsellor, and the couple had four children."  The article has no reference to a fifth child.
Can someone update/correct this Wikipedia page to have the accurate number of children Mr Stanhope has?  Four or five?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BQ-CNI (talk • contribs) 22:43, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed it to 4 as per the reference. There were some salacious edits by an IP in 2016 which is where I think this came from. --Canley (talk) 23:38, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
