He did nothing wrong his entire term. 74.68.129.111 (talk) 12:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Brisbane Time ranking (Malcolm Mackerras) edit

Ive only just stumbled across this and WOW! These ranking's are very irrelevant, inaccurate and bias. I will outline why below:

  • 1) The research is the opinion of one specific person: Malcolm Mackerras, allowing him to be bias and allow his own personal opinion to interfere with his findings.
  • 2) Mackerras has been a member of various political parties.
  • 3) It has not been debated or contributed to by any other secondary political historian.
  • 4) Holt is 16/26 Whitlam 14, Hughes 9 all these PM's in anyones opinion had great success in there premierships, hence it is clear the journo's personal opinion has gotten the better of him.

Has anyone an opinion as to why these rankings are relevant, as frankly, they are a load of crap I wouldn't hesitate to remove. Романов (talk) 14:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC).Reply

And who is Alistair Mant to warrant an opinion? Study his selections. Better to remove him.

Can we just delete this page? edit

This does not belong in any encyclopaedia. How are rankings by The Age newspaper "historical rankings"? This is no better than a "Greatest sportsman of all time" ranking list and should be a candidate for speedy deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandurahmike (talkcontribs) 21:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

My recent edit (FYI) edit

In case anyone's wondering about what I removed in my latest edits, I took out all the blurbs about the prime ministers – I think people can visit the articles in question if they want a summary of the PMs' achievements, and the blurbs were copied directly from The Age article, so that's probably a copyright violation. I also removed the table of the points each historian gave. For some reason it only included eight out of the 15 respondents, and some of the table unfortunately appears to have been fabricated.

Need to update this… edit

Scott Morrison is the worst PM Australians have ever seen… he ran away during worst bushfires in NSW to Hawaii, he smugly ignores climate change and the impact his country is having on global warming, has basically started war with China, was too slow and didn’t order enough vaccines etc.

WORST PRIME MINISTER EVER!!! 2001:8003:30D6:B700:D549:1C8E:A6B6:EBE (talk) 10:50, 27 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
