Talk:Australian Conservatives

Article merge proposal
This is a discussion section for the article merge proposed this evening following the revelation that Family First Party is expected to announce on 26 April that it will merge into Australian Conservatives.
 * Oppose The two parties have significantly different history, Family First having been established in 2001. It will be simpler to keep the history (including "Split from the Liberal Party" for the AC) separate in two distinct articles. It will not be hard to record that FF dissolved or merged into AC, and that AC absorbed most FF members. The two SA MLCs will be recorded as having changed parties. --Scott Davis Talk 14:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose These are two organisations with distinct histories. Timrollpickering 14:08, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The parties joining forces now does not erase their distinct histories. Frickeg (talk) 22:33, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Cadbury?
Can anyone explain why the See Also section includes a link to Cadbury? I'm confused over what a confectionary company has to do with a political party! As far as I can see the change was made by B20097 back on the 16 August 2017 and not reverted as most of the changes were productive. Should it be removed? 人族 (talk) 05:47, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Presumably intended to link to the carry-on about chocolate eggs that is in the article from April 2017. It's also sort-of mentioned in the Cadbury article, but the Conservatives aren't. I'm happy to drop the "See also" link. --Scott Davis Talk 06:23, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Membership numbers unverified
The membership number listed is categorically wrong and the article cited makes no reference to the 15,000 figure. 13,000 is the figure given by Bernardi (www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/columnists/greg-sheridan/bernardi-continues-to-build-his-national-membership-power-base/news-story/fc1c565e936ffb36e673ad4f0eae73c1+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au) but this is also unverified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.56.211.109 (talk) 02:39, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
