Labor Candidate[edit]

Same person as John Hill (Australian politician)? Peter Ballard (talk) 06:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered that myself. I had a look at his parliamentary profile in the hope it'd have his middle name, but doesn't. So I thought in the absence of proof, I shouldn't automatically make the connection. Thanks for noticing my work though :) Timeshift (talk) 07:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I thought the same thing in retrospect - we can't draw the conclusion if no one else does. Yeah, I've noticed your by-election pages popping up over the last day or two, mainly due to the relevant pollies being on my watchlist. Good work.

I only started several hours ago! Timeshift (talk) 09:23, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Returning to this 15 years later! ... The Jaensch reference says "JD Hill" contested this by-election. So that makes it pretty likely, since John Hill (Australian politician)'s middle name is David. Adpete (talk) 23:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
