This contribution is for use by editors and is from the the subject of the Wikipedia entry about myself: John Angus Mackenzie Innes. I understand that I cannot edit the entry myself.
This is not intended to be published without passing through the hands of an editor. I do not wish to change the general Wiki rules, which produce an invaluable public service: (1) I was never a member of the "ginger group", a term that was applied to a group of Liberal parliamentarians of a decade earlier than my service - see paragraph on "the Ginger Group" in Wiki article on Charles Porter MLA, which is correct. (2) Following the election of 1982 I was not deposed as Deputy Leader, I did not stand, nor seek to stand, I supported the leadership of Sir Wiliam Knox and the Deputy Leadership of William Lickiss. (3) The comment that I was helped in the 1986 election by the failure of my national party opponent to submit a nomination is gratuitous and inaccurate. My only opponents were those who nominated. The main opponent was the ALP candidate, as was the rule in the electorate of Sherwood. The Nationals had no track record of political significance in the electorate of Sherwood. It was alleged that there was a person who sought to be the National Party candidate, but the details of that person's failure to materialise were murky. A fairer report is that no comment is made on this issue. (4) Finally, with reference to the 1989 election, it might be more informative to state that this election was overshadowed by the publication of the 1989 Fitzgerald Report into corruption in Queensland, which implicated the governing National Party.
