This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Tony Wright (24 October 2013). "Wikipedia's verdict on Greg Hunt: 'terrible at his job'". The Age. Retrieved 24 October 2013.

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.

Do the Wikipedia comments really need their own section?

I know, we love it when a public figure talks about us, and want to mention it in his article. But concerns of WP:RECENTISM and WP:WEIGHT apply. It's not clear to me if this quote is of such importance to Hunt's career that it needs to be highlighted in the way it currently is. I guess we should wait and see if there's any longer lasting consequences first. But my feeling is that that these comments, if worth mentioning at all, perhaps should be mentioned just as one line in the 'political career' section rather than being given their own section.

I tend to agree; in all likelihood this would be, at most, one of many events in Hunt's political career. I think it's worth keeping the quote (it allows readers to assess Hunt's words directly), but it should probably be part of the "Political career" section. If it does have significant consequences it could maybe become a subsection later. Also I would propose the wording "about the relationship between climate change and bushfires" as clearer than just "about climate change issues" at the end of the sentence - any feedback on that?

Concur. Hunt was really just responding to a topical issue. There is an interesting discussion developing re climate change and the bushfires that can be found at Talk:2013 New South Wales bushfires. Rangasyd (talk) 10:01, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like consensus to me. It's now more than eighteen months later, and nobody talks about the incident. Except us. If someone has a recent MSM example, please throw it up here. Please. --Pete (talk) 19:34, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Greg Hunt

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Greg Hunt's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "green":

From David Gillespie (politician): Green, Antony (15 September 2013). "Lyne Results: Federal Election 2013". ABC News. Australia. Archived from the original on 26 October 2018. Retrieved 15 September 2013.
From National Party of Australia: Green, Antony. "Where to now for the Nationals?". ABC News Online. ABC. Retrieved 18 December 2018.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:54, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
