Talk:Matt Canavan

Citizenship since age of two

Sydney Morning Herald reported that "Senator Canavan has conceded he has been an Italian citizen since he was 2". The text in the article attributed to this source reads, 'As part of the High Court proceedings, Canavan's lawyers said that, regardless of his registration as an "Italian resident abroad" in 2006, and despite a change in Italian citizenship law when had been two years old, it appeared that he had never been an Italian citizen.' This contradicts the source.

Misleading text on the nature of approval

Regarding a grant for a football stadium in North Queensland the article states:

He denied it was a breach of ministerial standards as under the North Australia Infrastructure Facility Act, he had no power to approve loans but could only reject them.

There is no reference for this statement. Also it appear incorrect, if you have a power to reject a grant, and you do not reject it then you have approved it, they are two side of the same coin. If you can approve a grant you can reject it by not exercising that power. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.196.12.207 (talk) 06:43, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Photo choice

The photo seems used in this article's infobox seems to have been changed since I have last seen this article. I see that consensus has not been obtained for this change. I think the 2017 photo looks far better than this more modern, but lower-quality video-call image. I would like to see if there is consensus to change the image back to the 2017 version. The 2025 version especially shows its loss of quality compared to the 2017 version when enlarged. I encourage the use of a newer photo if it is of a high-quality, encyclopaedic nature.

11 March update: I have recently become aware of the 2018 version that @Wikiuser4999 has added to this article. I think that looks great, neutral and is representative of who he is.
