Talk:Australian Senate committees

comments
Is it possible to get some history of committees? Is there a regular timetable of meetings - if so a timeline could be good. Diagram(s) would add to this article too. GB 21:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you - have done a bit of history, but there is no regular timetable of meetings, they don't work that way. Diagrams are a more ambitious project that is beyond my skills for now. hamiltonstone 06:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Some more suggestions: This article is getting to the stage where a GA nomination would be worth while. Graeme Bartlett 06:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Can the list of committees be turned into a table?
 * convert the dot point list to prose.

Response and GA nom
Amendments made as suggested by Graeme, and additional material added, including more scholarly references. GA nomination initiated, and we'll see what happens. hamiltonstone 14:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Good article
This article reads well and meets all the GA criteria. My only suggestion for the future is that the lead section could be usefully expanded to two or three paragraphs. Wish you well with your editing... Johnfos 02:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

THIS ARTICLE IS NOT GOOD. It does not convey the message that most of the committees are instigated by independent and opposition senators, purely for the purpose of publicity. Abbott made such a comment in 2014. Henry Parkes (a chronic boozer by all accounts) basically copied the US constitution, but left out the bad-mouthing bits about George III and all bits about basic self-evident truths and rights. The British Colonial Office did not like those bits, and Henry was just interested in his next drink. Thus we now have effectively a bunch of Star Chambers instigated by senators that can harass citizens and there is no right of reply, nor to silence.

I added to the history section, and is was wiped within 5 mins. The Article appears to have been written by a first-year law student regurgitating the garbage it has heard in lectures. Aus is a vile wretched ignorant little sh*t hole where basic civil rights are cr*pped by the media, lawyers, politicians and civil servants.27.33.245.30 (talk) 09:05, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Everyone has their views about our parliamentary system. What the article presents is an encyclopedic explanation, based on reliable secondary sources, presented in neutral language. If you can locate reliable sources to support this analysis, and there isn't undue weight placed on a minority or fringe position, then it can be added to the article. hamiltonstone (talk) 10:49, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
