Reference to nickname "Australian Congress"

Younger generations of Australians also refer to Parliament as "Congress" occasionally, similar to the US terminology. Should we add a reference to this colloquialism? 203.46.132.214 (talk) 02:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think that's true. ITBF (talk) 03:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nor do I. I work in a high school, amd have never heard that usage. If it's used at all, it would be rare. It would need good sourcing for us to mention it. HiLo48 (talk) 04:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
This could be a good idea, however Wikipedia only includes information that is verifiable in published sources. If this terminology starts cropping up in reliable sources, then feel free to add it though. Safes007 (talk) 07:57, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Coalition split - Correction due to recent events.

Hi this is my first time contributing to Wikipedia, so my apologies if I make any mistakes. I just wanted to point at that as of today the coalition (liberal party and national party) have split. I find it reasonable to edit this document to differentiate the liberals and nationals as separate competing parties, and not a cooperative coalition. I am unable to link my sources through hyperlink, however many reputable news sources, such as the ABC, the guardian, and the BBC have all reported on this, they can be found easily via google search.

This is true, but where would you insert this into the article?--Jack Upland (talk) 01:10, 22 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
