[edit] Hillsong church

The Hillsong Church article contains two paragraphs that seem more appropriate here. They are:

Subsequent to the election accusations were made in the NSW State Parliament that Mrs Markus's campaign had inappropriately placed undue emphasis on the Muslim background of her chief opponent.

and

The candidates for both the [[Christian Democratic Party (Australia)|Christian Democrat and Family First parties in Greenway recorded lower percentages of votes than their parties' candidates in comparable seats.

Should they be moved? Are they accurate? --Scott Davis ^Talk 09:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major edit. References finally added

I've reverted a previous edit, which deleted the 2004 Muslim controversy entry, in the mistaken belief it was a reference to the 2007 Muslim controvery in Lindsay. The section could probably handle a re-write and maybe some more references. It was a big deal at the time. She won by 900 odd votes, and there was a lot of christian/muslim crap going on at the time. Her religion and ties to the Hillsong church were, and are, actively promoted. And the religion of her opponent (a non-practising muslim) was referenced in this context. In the light of what happened in Lindsay, it seems that the 2004 Greenway pamphlets could have been dirty tricks by the Liberals to influence the election result.

I've got references for most of what's here. There are no references for her studies or prior career, or her family. Not sure what would be good sources for these. 58.107.72.85 (talk) 03:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

For some reason, the page was reverted to a previous state. For the love of GOB, if there's a problem, discuss it! I can't see how /all/ the edits and references were bad. Perhaps, any iffy bits could be editted, and the good bits left. 58.107.72.85 (talk) 11:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
