Education

Can this entry be updated to state that Mr Oakeshott completed a Bachelor of Laws from Macquarie University? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.171.160.133 (talk) 01:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When did he go nat->ind?

Current text: On 9 March, 2001, at the Port Macquarie electoral committee meeting, he left the National Party.^[1]

Antony says: Oakeshott resigned from the National Party in March 2002.

The smh cite does not mention 2001 or 2002. I'm changing the text. Timeshift (talk) 03:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. The 2001 date was a mistake I made in including information from his NSW Parliamentary bio page. It says 9 March 2002. I defer to the eminent Mr Green! Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 10:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It begs the question why did he leave the National Party (the Nationals)? The Nationals seem to be very good at producing independents. There are currently three in the House of Representatives and a number in the NSW Legislative Assembly. In my view, a reasonably capable parliamentary leader of the Nats would be doing all possible to get these independents back in to the Nationals fold, by such methods as negotiation and even a little bit of compromise. Any thoughts people???
