editSentence below removed from main article -
- "At his debut election Matthew was legally voted in as President, but he oversaw the illegal election of many commitee members also from Maroubra SLSC, this resulted in a major investigation of the the Club and Senior Officer involved during the Sydney Olympic Games, which recommended some people to step down due to branch stacking contrary to PCYC Model Rules.

Possible citations

editGosh. This needs some serious work. Who the heck cares if:

This whole article reads like a great advertisement for the Senator. Rangasyd (talk) 12:39, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
