Can't find biographical information, though thought a page was needed considering the importance of the marginal seat Col Kelly is contesting in the Aus 2007 election. Bio info would be appreciated, thanks Alec.N 12:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
After my original article was pulled because of allegedly too much POV and 'synthesis', I have re-written it and intend to post, unless complainants identify SPECIFIC concerns of bias with this material Peter phelps ( talk) 13:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Can someone give the Mike Kelly (politician) article a thorough going over? It's a pretty spectacular POV mess at the moment. Rebecca ( talk) 08:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Dude, he's got nothing better to do with his time. Just let him mess about then when he gets bored we can change it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.223.39 ( talk) 06:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I've removed:
At least one user wants to keep it, so it made sense to bring it here. My concern is that it seems like a remarkably minor incident, and I can't find any evidence that it was a significant statement. I checked NewsBank, and the only newspaper I can find there that covered the story was the Townsville Bulletin, and that only on the one occasion. Outside of NewsBank, the Northern Territory Courier gave a bit more detail, but nothing more. As far as I can tell, Kelly was responding privately to a suggestion that he had only seen service from behind a desk, by claiming to have used his rifle when moving a prisioner while on duty in Somalia. That seems to be pretty much it. It feels like undue weight and a bit of a beat-up, and the real issue, if there is one, is his decision not to support the change in the defence pension, rather than this claim. - Bilby ( talk) 22:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
This is factual and pertinent.
Thompson Remarks Controversy
Kelly attracted controversy when, during an appearance on Sky Television, he made, what one commmentator regarded as "the most horrible slur I can recall in federal politics."[12] Kelly, speaking about the Coalition's pursuit of Thompson, and to the disbelief of his fellow panel-members, said "The relentless focus on this individual has one outcome in mind. What is that they actually want? Do they want to see a young mother by a graveside weeping, is that the outcome they are looking for? Because this is what they said they want to happen.”[13] — Preceding unsigned comment added by LowLarynx ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

The subject of this article is still active in Parliament, but right now it's not clear what he's about. I propose some restructuring - just so it's not a meandering set of points. I've entered his involvement with JPCIS and I can see that his concern for security in the new environment is going to be a matter for future friction, deserves some treatment. Other thoughts?
