Humph! This now being a completed non-notable event in the future tense, why not put it quietly to sleep and transfer encyclopedic content (if any) elsewhere? Bjenks (talk) 05:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC) ||| Bearian (talk) 02:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC) I think this is one of those cases where consensus has got it wrong, for reasons I care not to get in to. It's now set a dangerous precedent in to what events in Australian politics as to noteable events, and all sorts of comparisons and benchmarks will be made with this page. Pity really.

I'm pretty unswayed either way, I think. What sorts of events do you think will be created because of this one? Rebecca (talk) 03:59, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see what the problem is in having an article on a contested leadership election of a nationally important party. —Nightstallion 23:58, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
