The article currently says
When the Howard Government was defeated at the 2007 federal election, Credlin moved to Sydney to work at the Jockey Club until she was asked by Brendon Nelson, who had been elected federal Liberal leader and Leader of the Opposition.
Removing the dependent clauses, this becomes:
When the Howard Government was defeated ..., Credlin moved to Sydney to work at the Jockey Club until she was asked by Brendon Nelson, ....
What was she asked? The current sentence needs a comma after "Leader of the Opposition" (to terminate the dependent clause) and then some words to tell us what she was asked. Or perhaps some other re-write. The ref is behind a paywall, so I can't check the facts myself. Mitch Ames ( talk) 12:19, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
I removed a couple of paragraph's about Credlin's "low-level drink-driving" offence. The incident has a reliable source, but in the absence of anything suggesting that it affects her political career, I think including it (especially an entire section) is giving it undue weight. Mitch Ames ( talk) 14:11, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
A different IP restored the section, and I have again deleted it, for the same reasons as before.
Editors (registered or IP) are invited to discuss the matter here, if they feel that the section should be included in the article. Mitch Ames ( talk) 12:38, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
PLEASE NOTE: CORRECTION MAY BE REQUIRED REGARDING DATE OF WEDDING TO BRIAN LOUGHNANE - HIS ENTRY SAYS DEC 2002 - PETA'S ENTRY SAYS 2003. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.77.171.186 ( talk) 04:50, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Politics is a dirty game and smear campaigning is one of many tactics used to get one over an opponent. While I have a great deal of respect for the integrity of The Guardian (when compared to other red back spiders :-) ), let's keep this low level trash out of the article eh? There's been a few reverts back and forth this past week on the topic of an alleged romance with Abbott. A denial of allegations isn't news, it's the media keeping themselves relevant stirring the pot for the people to consume. Anyone could potentially accuse anyone of anything and when you live in the public spotlight, it often results in articles like "Longhair denies puppy farming and bestiality allegations" when the he said/she said and the target denies it stuff begins to occur. I never thought I'd see the day I defended Credlin, but there you have it :D -- Longhair\ talk 06:41, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
Apparently she went to uni, good on her. However I am mystified as to the presence of Alma Mater in the info box, that is a USAn expression, not aussie. Greglocock ( talk) 12:16, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
