> A midnight email from Chris Crewther throwing his hat into the ring will see a crowded contest for the Liberal Party leadership at a Friday morning meeting.
...
> The party room meeting is scheduled for 10am. If the party room votes in favour of a spill, Pesutto is expected to stand down as leader.
> Should the spill motion be successful, the leadership vote will become an elimination-style showdown, with the candidate receiving the fewest votes out of the race first, followed by another round of voting. Under this scenario, Crewther is widely expected to be eliminated first.
> Battin to challenge for leadership, as crucial vote to be put to MPs https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/battin-to-challenge-for-leadership-as-crucial-vote-to-be-put-to-mps-20241226-p5l0pa.html > Smith’s intervention means three votes will be put to the party room on Friday: whether the absent MPs can vote remotely; if exiled MP Moira Deeming should be readmitted to the party room; and a challenge to the leadership. It will be the second time this month a vote on Deeming’s membership has been put to the party room. A deadlocked vote on whether she should return was knocked down last Friday after Pesutto used his casting vote, prompting his political allies and opponents to urge the leader to step down.
More than funds, what Wikipedia really needs is more good editors. The number of people who regularly edit articles in English Wikipedia hasn't grown substantially in years, while the number of articles has, and editor demographics remains skewed. The foundation itself largely stays away from editing, leaving it to volunteers. While articles that get a lot of attention are often good, it's not hard to find ones with biased and promotional content in less-visited topics, and in other languages.
