 * Oppose - no evidence supplied that the terms suggested are in use, particularly as a proper name, and I can't find much in the way of sourcing myself. Plus it's not a generally understood term. Conversely, "frontbench" is a generally understood term, at least in Westminster style parliaments, and the current article titles seem fitting. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'd be happy to leave them as they are but the consensus on this discussion was that "Frontbench" was inappropriate. --DilatoryRevolution (talk) 03:07, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see a whole lot of consensus myself. One editor proposed the change, for reasons that aren't clear to me, and it seems like you agreed. Well here we are at a requested move discussion, and I definitely don't agree. The proposed titles don't seem to meet our naming policies, particularly WP:COMMONNAME.

 * Oppose I have never heard the term Caucus Executive used to describe the frontbench of an Australian Government or Opposition. It looks like the term is being proposed as the term ALP Caucus Executive is used in the text but that appears to refer to the Australian Labor Party Caucus rather than describing the opposition Frontbench.
 * I would also note that it might be better to wait until the articles have more references before suggesting something like this so that there are supporting texts to help determine consensus. Gusfriend (talk) 02:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
