Daniel Andrews

[edit]

It's completely irrelevant to Daniel Andrews. It's a one-day news story (see WP:NOTNEWS) about branch stacking concerning a wannabe powerbroker in the party who wants to keep the power he's gained by keeping the MPs who support him in parliament. Bay FM is not a particularly reliable source for political reporting (being a music radio station), and there's no evidence in any decent source that the incident has anything to do with Andrews or that Somyurek even opposes him in more than a coming-from-a-different-faction kind of way. It's also nothing to do with Hennessy or Ryan - it's not for no reason that no other media outlet is running with those big claims (and the incident got plenty of media coverage today). The only people it plausibly does have a link to who are notable enough to have articles about them are Somyurek and Sarah Connolly, being that it's her seat and her preselection at issue. The broader Somyurek issue probably does need some discussion in the state branch (being that it's a multi-year saga affecting the factional balance within the party) but this doesn't even warrant a footnote.

Hi TDW, thanks for that, on reflection I agree, I just read The Ages article on the incident. I removed the content from Daniel Andrews page, thanks for your help 49.199.229.152 (talk) 08:52, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
