How is the article not neutral? DarrenRay 21:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

It gives the basic details about her career, and then launches into a big negative paragraph, including the statement that it some trivial event was "when she first came to public attention", which is a bit rich. Methinks she first came to public attention when she got elected to parliament. Ambi 03:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I removed the word 'came' to attention and replace with 'gained', does that work better? DarrenRay 04:59, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It's better, but it's still bad. This selective quotation stuff is getting rather old. If I wrote Sang Nguyen in the style of this and Carlo Carli, you'd be screaming blue murder. Ambi 05:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean by selective quotation? there isn't a quote in the article. DarrenRay 10:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Selective inclusion would perhaps be more accurate. Left figures receive a stub, plus a referenced list of anything negative they've ever done. Right figures, if you bother writing on them at all, receive an article that omits anything controversial they've ever done. This is not neutral writing. Ambi 06:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
