Not first nurse
[edit]Several people on the ABC have claimed that Kearney is the first nurse to be elected to the House of Representatives (Fran Kelly on Insiders), or even the federal parliament (Annabel Crabb on the SA Votes coverage). This Wikidata query shows there were two others (Wendy Fatin and Trish Worth). I believe they have corrected it now, but just in case someone adds this claim to the article... --Canley (talk) 02:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Very late in ABC coverage Crabb also mentioned Sue West and Judith Adams as other nurses who had served in federal parliament. Frickeg (talk) 03:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Also Shirley Walters, Patricia Giles and Olive Zakharov. Yes, Crabb said she had been copping it on Twitter after saying that! Insiders also tweeted a correction after the broadcast citing Fatin and Worth. I saw the ABC did a feature on former occupations of current MPs a few days earlier, which noted there were currently no former nurses in parliament—I guess that was misinterpreted a bit. --Canley (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

- Hello, I'll be reviewing this article using the table below. This will be my first GA review, so bear with me. Feel free to ask any questions below. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:12, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your comments so far- I am italicising the ones I have completed. GraziePrego (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- (Replying here as replying within the table doesn't format properly) I see what you mean about the relevance of the fish accosting Kearney on election day- it is an unusual and interesting detail though? It does also show a bit how focused the campaigning was on the environment. Still very happy to go with your judgement on it though, it is hardly the most vital point to understanding Kearney.
- The other stuff about campaign divisions- "Divisions within the Greens' campaign assisted Kearney. During the by-election campaign, an internal complaint of bullying by Bhathal was leaked to the media, and members of the Greens' Darebin branch requested her expulsion from the party following Bhathal's support for Lidia Thorpe in the 2017 Northcote state by-election." I agree with moving to the by-election article. GraziePrego (talk) 05:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Changing my mind also- The Fish can move to the by-election article :) GraziePrego (talk) 05:26, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with that decision. It is definitely a lot more relevant to the scope of the by-election article. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 06:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Changing my mind also- The Fish can move to the by-election article :) GraziePrego (talk) 05:26, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- @GraziePrego: The article now meets the GA criteria, terrific work. Congratulations to you and as well to everyone else who contributed to the article. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:21, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: 1st and 3rd are rewordings of same DYK. 2nd one is drawing people in based on possibly mistaking it for Batman, when it is the name of the division.
Improved to Good Article status by GraziePrego (talk). Self-nominated at 06:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ged Kearney; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Working The source for ALT1 is actually only good for her election, not for the fact that she represented Batman for those years. I think what you need is a source that specifically says what years she served as member for Batman. The other source is fine for the other two hooks. I'll do a checlist once the source issue is addressed. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:34, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- This might be suitable. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:39, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Article length and recent GA are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. The hooks are all interesting, I prefer ALT1 because of the Batman double-meaning, then the main hook as it makes me want to find out why, but ALT1 needs a source that actually supports the hook (see above). Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:57, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- This source should be good I think, it's from the Australian Parliament website. GraziePrego (talk) 06:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, that one's great. My preference would be ALT1 first, then the main hook, then ALT2. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Great! I’m happy with ALT1 if you’re happy to approve it. GraziePrego (talk) 10:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
