This article is written in Australian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, program, labour (but Labor Party)) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Proposed changes

@Wikinonsensical, you need to discuss your proposed changes here before attempting to edit them in again. What you have edited in to date is not adequate. TarnishedPath^talk 01:08, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is your issue with the changes made? You've deleted cited material without any justification. You should justify this, please. Wikinonsensical (talk) 02:27, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to work with you if you think there are errors or if the language I've used isn't right but I strongly disagree with blanking all the citations. It's very strange to remove reference to his local government changes which have been much criticised. It's very, very strange to remove references to him being re-elected. Wikinonsensical (talk) 02:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are full of puffery and WP:BLP violations. I suggest you revert in full and bring any proposed edits here prior to editing them into the article. TarnishedPath^talk 03:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw you make that criticism before but it's not clear to me what you say is puffery and what is you say a violation of WP:BLP. If you're more specific, I'll probably agree with you but it's not easy to read minds. (I have tried once or twice but sadly without success.) Wikinonsensical (talk) 03:27, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Puffery has no different meaning in Wikipedia than it does in the common English. You've also made certain claims about living people in your edits which are not acceptable. Please revert you last edit and bring any proposed edits here. TarnishedPath^talk 03:38, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
