I was curious, and Googled for any sort of reference of this, but couldn't find one. Can someone provide one, please? Otherwise this sentence may not be truthful. Dysprosia 10:17, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to fit this in with the article but I knew Kerry during our time in national student politics, when she was known as "Knitting Nettle", due to her habit of taking her knitting along to meetings. There we'd be discussing a National Day of Action, and there she'd be, sitting in the corner knitting. She was also known for losing every student election she stood for (where there was another candidate). Generally speaking, even her best friends entrusted her with nothing more than making the tea. Of course, she's now a senator while I'm a lowly journalist, so there's probably some moral to that story. -- Roisterer 03:22, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Making tea properly is a very challenging task, which I would only entrust to a responsible comrade. Adam 01:25, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Roisterer, I don't think the comments add anything to the article. I knew Kerry when involved in local Greens politics back in the late 1990s. She was certainly very active back then. Wasn't quiet at all. Dankru 12:42, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
This label is POV, not helpful and misleading.
For example, some polls show that 70% of Australians opposse the privatisation of Telstra [1] and there is other data that shows that government ownership of certain services is widely desired by the Australian community [2] -- Wm 23:40, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Why is this page protected? Wm made one edit, which was reverted. The edit is being discussed on the talkpage. As an ignorant but opinionated non-admin type, I don't think you should be protecting a page on the off-chance that an edit war may erupt. -- fuddlemark ( fuddle me!) 05:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
WM if someone was described in an article as a right-wing conservative politician would you remove it? Looking at your edits suggests you have not. Describing Nettle as a left-wing radical is perfectly acccurate - most would consider the Greens to be distinctly left-wing and Nettle to be on the far end of that scale. Yes, i expressed an opinion but it was after Ambi has already challenged you about it. PMA 11:05, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
I know nothing about this Australian politician, but this article has been brought to my attention because of protection. To me, the word "radical" implies extremism and the proposition of drastic, even brutal, changes. So I'm curious: does this politician advocate a revolution? Does she want to nationalize private industry without compensation? Etc. David.Monniaux 12:29, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
"Does she want to nationalize private industry without compensation?" What if the infrastructure was paid for in the first place by taxpayers? or if the industry has been heavily subsidised by taxpayers for decades?
This sentence, whilst i'm not arguing the words are false, makes some bold statements and requires citations: Nettle is a social radical[citation needed] as well as an environmentalist. She believes in Government ownership of essential services, which include banking, airlines, telecommunications, health and education,[citation needed] and other areas privatised in the last two decades in Australia. She argues that private ownership of these assets is "social theft."[citation needed] Timeshift ( talk) 05:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Socialism implies many things.. I fear PMA is too quick to label Nettle without adequete reliable sources, and when sources are used they do not back up what is being said. Timeshift ( talk) 09:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
