Removed uncited claim
Sentence below removed from main article -
 * "At his debut election Matthew was legally voted in as President, but he oversaw the illegal election of many commitee members also from Maroubra SLSC, this resulted in a major investigation of the the Club and Senior Officer involved during the Sydney Olympic Games, which recommended some people to step down due to branch stacking contrary to PCYC Model Rules.

Possible citations
Not sure if Matt's first speech can be used as a citation? Good that it's transcribed into Hansard, but then again not exactly peer-reviewed - -- Gth-au (talk) 07:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Reads like an advertisement
Gosh. This needs some serious work. Who the heck cares if: "In August 2012, Thistlethwaite became Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Electricity Prices, tasked with identifying the causes of electricity price rises over recent years and discovering opportunities to reduce peak demand and make the system more efficient." This whole article reads like a great advertisement for the Senator. Rangasyd (talk) 12:39, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
