Anyone got a better photo?

The photograph of Cullen for this article is really very poor, very amateurish, with flash reflection glare on the background, his skin and his glasses. Surely there is a better photo available of the Deputy Prime Minister of NZ? Genedecanter (talk) 11:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of a better free image. If you know of a privately taken better image, then asking the photographer nicely to release the image under a free licence is often successful, but I'm unable to find a better photo on Flickr either. I looked at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawgxxxxiv/2517157905/ but it's a little out of focus, and http://www.flickr.com/photos/26094806@N07/2450784808/ is only in a very small size.-gadfium 20:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the description above, take a look at Eminem to see a poor one. The photographer was kind enough to release it cc-by, all the other flickr photos don't have a suitable licence (but can always ask); also didn't find any US GOV PD photos. I did some colour balance etc touch up in the process of cropping it, please upload a new version if a better result can be had. XLerate (talk) 02:30, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dates don't agree

The table shows he was MP for St Kilda for 15 years but the dates on the right list that being for 12 years, placing his time as MP for Dunedin South three years early. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.181.143 (talk) 20:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
