Talk:Rob Borbidge

Untitled
I find the following statement a little, um, incorrect: "The Borbidge government imitated the changes made by the Liberal government of John Howard to the industrial relations system by introducing Queensland Workplace Agreements (QWA's), in a mirror of the new Australian Workplace Agreements." Now, how can that be when the Borbidge government preceded the Howard government and was? (That said, I seem completely unable to find ANYTHING on the web about the date the Borbidge government was thrown from office.)


 * Borbidge was premier from 1996-1998, introducing his Workplace Relations Act in 1997. The Howard Government's Workplace relations Act was passed in 1996.  And Borbidge's premiership dates are clearly in the article. Slac speak up! 02:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure why this article refers to Rob's current occupation. He was Premier of the State of Queensland, that is why he is a public identity worthy of an entry. Honestly, no one cares about the company he is running now (unless he is doing something scandalous). Its appropriate for there to be some content on his post political life; but advertising the loans available from a finance company he is now working from is ridiculous.

Very early political career?
There's an implication that he stood for office in Victoria before he moved to Queensland. Given that he attended high school in Queensland (and thus would have graduated from TSS around the age of 17 or 18), he was either an astonishingly early starter in politics or the victim of a poorly-written biography article.

Importance of One Nation Party
It is correct that the "rise of the One Nation Party of Pauline Hanson, which would see him lose office within two years"?Royalcourtier (talk) 06:33, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
