Upon reading this article it was clear that a number of allegations that were initially made relating to Worth's resignation have since either been withdrawn or were unproven. While it is clear that Worth lost the confidence of the Prime Minister, it would probably be unfair to have the full history of unproven allegations remain as a feature of the article, due to its potentially libellous nature.
Since Worth has left Parliament and no longer is a MP, it would also seem that the event is no longer current, so it would be important to remove any "events in play" that have since subsequently become old news and/or unproven.
I look forward to responses on the changes, which are hopefully considered more neutral.

I've uploaded an Image of Richard Worth to WikiMedia, but can't work out how to have it appear as an embedded image in this page. The Image is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Richard_Worth,_New_Zealand_MP.jpg
There appear to have been two series of edits by a User:Richard_W_Worth who appears to be the subject of this page:
The first of these has effectively been undone already, but I'm about to rewrite the second, since they appear to breach Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. The user has been warned on their talk page.

These matters were discussed in the house. This link is to the uncorrected hansard:

I'd like to propose adding this new section to the article. I've used Hansard rather than theyworkforyou links, because Hansard is more authoritative (I believe). I've not made the addition myself, since as the discoverer of the COI, I could be seen to have a COI myself.
On 30 March 2009, someone using the name Richard W Worth made a pair of edits [2] [3] which removed a reference which showed Worth in a partially negative light and changed a potential conflict of interest to a perception of a potential conflict of interest. On 1 April 2009, these edits were noticed and the issue received media coverage. [1] [2]
The matter was raised twice in the house under parliamentary privilege, both times by Labour's Pete Hodgson, on the 2nd and 8th of April respectively:
In neither debate was there a clear denial or admission that the user of the Richard W Worth account was Worth.

The subject's post nominal letters were shown as OBE VRD KStJ. The New Zealand Order of Wear shows the KStJ is higher than the VRD so have changed order to OBE KStJ VRD. ---- Karl Stephens ( talk) 10:55, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I am the subject of this article. There are two issues: 1. The balance of the article relating to allegations against me which are wrong, unfair and damaging. They were withdrawn by the complainant after a high level and extended police investigation and a decision by the police to take no action. 2. Although the article was reviewed in March 2020 by an editor it is not up to date with my post Parliamentary career. How is that best resolved? 115.189.93.51 ( talk) 02:37, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Richard Worth
