BAE Systems Australia take-over[edit]

There is no TD any more, the article should be re-written in the past tense, and link to BAEA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oosh (talk • contribs) 22:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed sections[edit]


==Corporate Social Responsibility==
Tenix actively promotes and participates in [[corporate social responsibility]] activities, regularly committing funds to local community services, ranging from medical rescue and retrieval operations to sporting and cultural programs.[http://www.tenix.com/Main.asp?ID=25]

==Political Donations==
Tenix makes regular [[Campaign finance|donations]] to the major [[political parties]] in Australia. In the 2004/2005 [[Fiscal year|financial year]], [[Australian Electoral Commission]] records note contributions totalling $86,000 made to the federal and NSW branch of the [[Liberal Party of Australia|Australian Liberal Party ]], $14,500 to the federal [[National Party of Australia|National Party]], and $86,700 to the federal and NSW branch of the [[Australian Labor Party]].

I think the "corporate social responsibility" section is out of place here - it's not informative, and doesn't differentiate Tenix from any other large corporation. And frankly, it comes across as marketing spin.

The second one is the opposite - it seems to try and cast aspersions on Tenix's political involvement, but doesn't spell it out. Why is this here? Are there allegations against Tenix? Are they important? etc. These statements of fact seem out of place. Hopefully they can be reworded with a bit more context, and if appropriate, added back in.

Peter Reith[edit]

After resigning from Parliament Reithy took up a position at Tenix. Since he was a fairly significant and controversial figure in Australian politics AND more signficantly a Defence Minister this should be mentioned even if there is no direct source to contend this is part of the infamous revolving door. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Senor Freebie (talk • contribs) 00:33, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
