Edit request from Olivialoxley, 11 August 2010[edit]

Please change the link for reference 1 from www.mp.wa.gov.au/johnmcgrath to http://www.johnmcgrath.net.au/about-john/ because John McGrath's official website has now changed to this address, and the original link no longer leads to a webpage.

The reference is regarding the following information: "John Edwin McGrath (born 17 June 1947 in Fremantle, Western Australia) is a Western Australian politician and has been the Liberal member for the electorate of South Perth in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly since the 2005 election."

OK; a non-primary source would be nice - but, still, that is better than a dead link. Thanks, Chzz ► 02:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done

recent addition[edit]

Opposition Police spokesman, Rob Johnson, accused Buswell of giving McGrath favourable treatment and called for his sacking. A senior Liberal Party MP threatened to quit and others attacked Troy Buswell over his reluctance to sack McGrath over his dealngs with Brian Burke.

This is partisan coatracking and has nothing to do with the biography of this living person, perhaps whoever added it wants to add it to the relevant BLP's of the other people it may have value at those articles, but not here. ..Although John did nothing wrong harry didn't like it and his opponent said that Frank had treated john softly and called for Georges resignation...

The only reason I had reverted the edits in the first place was because no explanation was given apart from the dead link. I had assumed that once a new link was in place the text it supported was OK to put back, escpecially since the contributors edits had been reverted once before.--Hughesdarren (talk) 08:44, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I was just opening discussion, lets see if anyone supports the content. Off2riorob (talk) 11:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
