Hi Australian politics people.
I noticed a number of infoboxes of MPs having shadow ministries removed today (such as this one). Newish in the category - but is this a convention? (Have asked that editor the same question, but figured I'd get more of a sense of what the consensus is here.) MatthewDalhousie ( talk) 07:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place to determine whether Candidates of the next Australian federal election should be an article. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 02:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
An error seems to have crept into a few results page where we are calculating a "swing" between 2PP/2CP counts which feature different parties, e.g. at 2024 Cook by-election and 2018 Fremantle by-election. LIB v ALP and LIB v GRN (for example) are two different metrics, so a swing between them does not make statistical sense. If 60% of people preferred apples to oranges last year, but 70% of people preferred apples to bananas this year, that doesn't mean apples have increased in popularity by 10%. I note the official AEC results pages ( here and here for the examples previously mentioned) do not calculate a swing in these instances. I have been reverted a couple of times in fixing this so want to establish consensus here before making any further changes. ITBF ( talk) 07:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Opponents are currently using Peter Cain (politician) to add dirt with a new "Controversy" section that occupies half the article (added 18 April 2024). I know nothing about the topic and am hoping people here will work out whether the material is WP:DUE and has WP:RS. I noticed this at AN. Johnuniq ( talk) 02:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
