Talk:List of Australian politicians convicted of crimes

Should this be made into a category?

If Criminal Australian Policiticians was an official category, then the list would become automatic! 210.84.33.31 04:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree this should be a category. There are enough entries to fill it. There doesn't seem to be any world category for "Convicted Politicians", let alone "Australian Convicted Politicians". Maybe somebody could start this. فيريبراند 00:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Wrong Keith Wright

The Wikilink goes to the wrong Keith Wright, some footballer. Anyone care to write about the right Wright? 210.84.33.31 11:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Other MPs rorting travel expenses?

What about Mal Colston? Was he convicted of rorting expenses? Senator Nick Sherry? I haven't got enough info on these people to know if a conviction was recorded or not. 203.217.52.219 07:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Definitions

I've removed Bob Brown, just because it seems to me that this list implies that the person has to be a politician first and then convicted, while Brown (and others like Wilson Tuckey) were convicted before being elected. I'm open to discussion on this. Frickeg (talk) 08:55, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
