I found out that the article creator's username: User:Unicanberra is short for "University of Canberra", suggesting to have conflict of interest. This user is already reported to WP:UAA for this reason. --Stylez995 (talk) 21:33, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi I have a conflict of interest in editing the page hence requesting for a edit.

Below is a new award our Chancellor received, if it can be be added in the Honours and awards section it would be great.

"Professor Calma was named an Australia Post Australian Legend with his image immortalised on a postage stamp in May 2017. He is one of three exceptional Indigenous leaders who were recognised with the Australia Post Australian Legends Award. Professor Calma, Lowitja O’Donoghue and Galarrwuy Yunipingu were chosen for the Australia Post Legends 2017: ‘Indigenous leaders’ series to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum."
