Talk:Mark Dreyfus

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

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.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

ASIO

According to a Reuters report, Dreyfus heads the Australian domestic spying agency (ASIO). Should this be added to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.146.144.86 (talk) 12:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's inaccurate: First, the Attorney-General's portfolio includes oversight of ASIO, but that does not make the Attorney-General head of the ASIO any more than the Queen is the head of the ASIO. ~~Secondly, ASIO is not Australia's domestic spying agency:~~ Australian Security Intelligence Organisation has more details. ~~If anything, ASIO is closer to MI6 than MI5.~~ --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 14:15, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"as a human from Nazi Germany"

What was this meant to say? Surely it wasn't supposed to say that he came to Australia *as a human*? Maybe "as a refugee"? "as an immigrant"? I don't know the history of the Dreyfus family well enough, so I won't edit in what could be faulty information... but this should probably be fixed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aielyn (talk • contribs) 14:00, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
