Talk:Tony Abbott

The Onion Incident
Will i get into any trouble for adding this somewhere?

"In March 2015 while visiting Charlton Farm Produce in northern Tasmania Abbott famously bit into a raw unpeeled onion, chewing up the piece and polarizing the nation between those disgusted and those in awe of the impressive feat."

It was definitely news worthy at the time. Netanyahuserious (talk) 10:40, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look like it's been discussed in the talk archives, but I'm pretty sure how it will go if you try to add it... see WP:NOT.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 00:12, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Why is the infobox photo not his official portrait?
Why isn't it this? It's used in Abbott Government why can't it be used here?  Ak-eater06  (talk) 19:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Consensus is that what we have is a better portrait. Julia Gillard has another image by the same photographer and we are luvky to have that as well. Really good portraits of politicians and celebrities that we can actually use are very scarce. The copyright status of the official portraits isn't clear, but it seems more appropriate to use them in an article devoted to official terms, rather than an overall biographical article.


 * Just quietly, but official portraits are a bit hit and miss. Abbott and Rudd have particularly poor shots. --Pete (talk) 20:41, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This is false. There is no consensus at all that we have a "better" portrait - that's just your personal opinion. The reason why the official portraits aren't in use is not because of this, but instead because of the uncertainty regarding copyright status - as I shared on the thread Ak-eater06 started on the WikiProject, there is a nomination for deletion on WikiCommons of the official images of Gillard and Abbott, where discussions were held over the status of the images (and as far as I know have yet to be resolved). It was agreed that until the copyright matter was resolved one way or the other, we would halt any and all discussion regarding the use of the image on the infobox.

Can this photo of Tony Abbott be the standard photo now--Celco85 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celco85 (talk • contribs)
 * You ignored the script that someone left stating . Someone obviously left that for a reason because this has obviously been a contentious issue in the past. Now down to your image. It isn't enhanced as it changes his hair colour. TarnishedPathtalk 13:36, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Ok i am sorry i was quick to change the photo can this version of the photo remain though?

 * The adjustments you've made to lighten the photo have had the effect of lightening his hair to a different shade than it was (before he started to go grey in any case). I think that's an issue.

 * Sorry, I should write the adjustments that whoever touched up the photo made. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 13:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
