Talk:2013 Australian federal election

Election results SVG map
I removed the SVG map in the infobox because it has a few issues: - The electoral boundaries shown for Victoria are the borders used between 2004 and 2010. They were redistributed prior to the 2013 election. - McMahon and Fowler are shown as Liberal seats when they were won by Labor. - Lindsay and Barton are shown as Labor seats when they were won by the Liberals. - The map does not have a key. Kennedy and Fairfax appear to be independent seats which is inconsistent as Melbourne (Greens, which is a minor party on par with PUP) is coloured. - 'Fremantle' is misspelt.

I think the map is a great idea, just needs a bit of fixing up.

Katter's Australian Party
Given that the Katter's Australian Party has the same number of seats as both the Greens and Palmer United, why has it been excluded from the infobox? I rarely edit on topics related to Australian politics but this seems an interesting and arbitrary decision. Could anyone educate me? AusLondonder (talk) 00:29, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Surely the 5% inclusion rule, which is pretty standard across Wikipedia should be applied and so Katter's Australian Party should be exculded. Ebonelm (talk) 16:19, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There is no such rule as far as I am aware. By consensus (after extensive discussion) the Australian benchmark is a seat in the House of Reps. Frickeg (talk) 21:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Please see Talk:Australian federal election, 2013/Archive 3. Standard rule across Wikipedia and on Australian articles specifically is that inclusion is based upon having both 5% of the popular vote and a seat in the House. Katter meets the seat criterion but not the 5% and therefore is not included. Ebonelm (talk) 21:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Firstly, that is, um, not a consensus for 5%. Secondly, I'm afraid you're rather behind the times - there was a much more recent, more involved discussion (in fact an RfC!) here where a seat was decided as the threshold. Frickeg (talk) 21:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Kevin Rudd photo
Shouldn't Kevin Rudd's photo be the 2013 one instead of the 2007 version? The photos of party leaders usually changes when there are newer versions like Bob Katter (2013 and 2016 elections) and Scott Morrison (2019 and 2022 elections) why is this one any different?
