Observation

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

MOS is followed throughout the article. Good written English, easily comprehended. The archive of Reference 7 advises This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):

This is a very old article (started life in 2002). There needs to be a consistent application of the archived URL either before or after the original link; this application should be consistent throughout this article; a number of reversals were encountered. Given this is a politician, the article is relatively broad and balanced with respect to his career, departure from politics and return as PM who loses an election. Very balanced, neutral presentation. The challenge of covering a politician, Prime Minister and Leader of Opposition is well managed. 699 editors for 1575 edits; this is an old page with the first edit on 22 July 2002.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Infobox image is Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.

Overall
(temp review page) --Whiteguru (talk) 10:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Despite this page being quite old (commenced life in 2002), it is still a robust page and does not suffer from WP:PROSELINE (he did this, he did that, ad-nauseam).

There are a lot of page watchers and mischievous edits are reverted quickly. A good article, well maintained. --Whiteguru (talk) 11:42, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
