Infobox image[edit]

Why is the image in the infobox a crop of an impromptu group photo in the US rather than his official prime ministerial portrait from 2021 already uploaded to commons? Would anyone be opposed to changing it to this? RoadSmasher420 (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Has been changed to an official portrait. Errantios (talk) 22:54, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Engadine[edit]

Where is the info regarding Engadine maccas (1997). While not confirmed, I believe he did address it and as such is noteworthy to be included in this article 2001:8003:3651:CF00:BC20:2AEB:2155:D42D (talk) 10:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Secret Ministerial Appointments Controversy[edit]

In the article section about the secret ministerial appointments controversy, it says:

Morrison maintained that "the serious crises facing Australia" demanded that he take on the joint ministries as a "safeguard". He argued that[clarification needed].[reference]

The sentence fragment at the end does not make sense, and appears to separate the relevant reference from the quotations. I suggest changing this to read:

Morrison maintained that "the serious crises facing Australia" necessitated his taking on the joint ministries as a "safeguard".[reference]

This would remove the need for clarification, in my opinion. 172.195.96.244 (talk) 10:54, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and have removed the unhelpful content. HiLo48 (talk) 11:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Health[edit]

Prescription of medication for anxiety - confirmed by Morrison - has been added. Another reporter has stated today that in 2021 he had reliable information that Morrison's mental problem was deeper - which he had put to Morrison privately, but he had not received confirmation from Morrison and so could not publish. This does not seem to be factually solid enough to add to the article, but the story appears to be sincere, is now "out there" and presumably will stay in circulation. Errantios (talk) 15:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taking antidepressants in 2021 is discussed in his autobiography, which also emphasises the depth and constancy of his evangelical religious faith. Errantios (talk) 22:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
