Is the claim that "Normal practice in Australia calls for a defeated prime minister to stay in office as a caretaker until the final results are known" true? It normally takes weeks for final results to be known. Steelkamp (talk) 12:09, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
No, it's not true. Normal practice is for a defeated prime minister to stay in office as a caretaker until the main result is clear, which is usually known on election night, and then for a few more days until such time as the new government is ready to be sworn in. That can occur as soon as the Tuesday after the election, as happened in 1972. On that occasion, the final results were so far from being known that Gough Whitlam and Lance Barnard were sworn in as two-man government, because they weren't prepared to wait for the results of closely contested seats that required multiple distributions of preferences, but wanted to start implementing their agenda asap. -- Jack of Oz[pleasantries]20:58, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi - I've added the AI generated template here, specifically regarding the edits by Ritwik Deuba; other edits by this user have shown indications of possible LLM use in the past, as do these. Thus they need review for accuracy, sourcing issues, possible NPOV/editorializing issues, and the like. Gnomingstuff (talk) 16:59, 3 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Should the article include the supposed incident at Engadine McDonalds when Morrison defecated in his pants? Note: the text is under "Personal life". Jack Upland (talk) 05:30, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Jack Upland: there is no need to take this straight to a full-blown thirty-day formal RfC. I cannot fond any indication that the suggestions at WP:RFCBEFORE have been tried, let alone exhausted. As far as I can tell, this relates to these edits from 5 July 2026 - more than three weeks ago. The content was added without subsequent discussion, nor has anybody attempted to remove it from the article. All I can find is that the person who added it had suggested it on this talk page a few hours earlier, but removed their post the same day (see these three edits) shortly after adding the content to the article.
The paragraph is insufficiently sourced. It starts from a piece in the unreliable Gizmodo about some Twitter stuff that became such a meme that Scomo felt he had to deny it. The matter is in any case insignificant. For these reasons, I think the paragraph should just be removed. Errantios (talk) 11:08, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. kemel49(connect)(contri) 10:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
