Your edits were reverted because they made the paragraph as anti-Georgiou as possible - they weren't threatening negative publicity, they were threatening to break with the government's line and effectively cross the floor. You also added lots of unreferenced material about what a hard-working and popular member Panopoulos is. Thus these edits were reverted, as with Julian Barendse and Melbourne University Student Union. Ambi 10:32, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I dislike her politics probably more than you do, but it's difficult to argue with her popularity in the electorate. She got nearly a 5.5% swing to her in 2004, leaving the Libs with 66% of the two-party preferred vote. She may be in the Genghis Khan faction of the Libs, but that's just how they like it up Indi way. --Robert Merkel 00:18, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
Makes sense - adding in evidence of electoral swings is how you show with evidence that a member is popular within their electorate, which this guy wasn't doing. Ambi 01:13, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed sentence

Some have said that she has never left student politics, given her behaviour.

While I have a certain sympathy for such a view, unattributed slurs like this have no place in an NPOV encyclopedia article. --Robert Merkel 22:15, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Some including me have said she has never left kindergarten, but sadly Robert is right. Adam 09:11, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Panopoulos to Mirabella

  • The photo caption needs to be changed
  • It is anachronistic to call her Mirabella when discussing events before her marriage. These references should be changed back to Panopoulos, with a comment in the opening paragraph that she has now changed her name.

[edit] Neutral?

I'm not a fan, but this article makes her sound really awful... lots of 'attacking' others, accusations, getting rebuffed, etc... Does anyone else think so too? ~ Riana ⁂ 06:03, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

This article is more or less a hack job of "things that the left don't like about Sophie". But there are many more like this that cannot be adjusted because what is in there is "fact" or removing it would be "positive". Excuse the cynicism but one reason I don't bother editing many articles like this -- there are many articles like this -- is because of the massive brick wall I'll encounter if I try to fix them.

She digs her own grave. You just dont see any back and forth bickering between current MPs and former PMs when it comes to Labor. Timeshift (talk) 06:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Demon Child

Where is more (any!) demon child coverage in this article. That would be a substantial hole given recent events.--ZayZayEM (talk) 12:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Sadly nothing on Hansard yet, that I can see. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 01:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
