The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to living or recently deceased subjects of biographical content on Wikipedia articles.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator.

This article is written in Australian English, which has its own spelling conventions (centre, colour, realise, program, travelled) and some terms may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Daniel Andrews was nominated as a Social sciences and society good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (September 11, 2025, reviewed version). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

That link gives me a 404 error. HiLo48 (talk) 07:30, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

@HiLo48 try https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/bike-boy-campaign-accused-of-giving-cash-gifts-to-potential-witnesses-in-case-against-daniel-andrews-20260214-p5o2b2.html TarnishedPath^talk 08:10, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ha ha. Well, that's not a 404 , but it IS paywalled, so I am still unable to comment. Sorry. HiLo48 (talk) 22:54, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

SMH and the Hun have picked it up. Also paywalled. I'm sure their ABC will run it, they are reliably pro Chairman Dan. Greglocock (talk) 23:18, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Are you saying the SMH and the Hun are anti-Chairman Dan? HiLo48 (talk) 23:44, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

No , that's an odd interpretation. I only ever read those rags when I'm waiting for a haircut, I don't really know what their position is on him, or the whole bikeboy story . Greglocock (talk) 00:08, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done Please read WP:NOLLM prior to making another request. TarnishedPath^talk 09:12, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you - let me rephrase it then. In the interim, please let me know if you disagree with what I have suggested - cheers bro! PPOMB (talk) 09:19, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

@PPOMB to be honest, I stopped reading at the point you wrote that you had AI assist you. I'll give it a full read later when I'm at my hotel and let you know what I think in general. TarnishedPath^talk 10:39, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

It needs redoing and I've withdrawn it - I think the critical point is that Andrews' office was aware, per the Watson report, of the Setka-Gatto connection. I'll get to it later this month. PPOMB (talk) 10:42, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
