Ed Husic's full name is Edham Nurredin Husić. Yet this article only refers to his known name. What is the naming convention? Should his full name be used and abbreviated to reflect his known name?

Describing himself as "non-practising"
Recently on the 7:30 report (26/8/10), Ed Husic specifically said that he does not describe himself as a 'non-practising' Muslim. This should be changed, but I'm not sure how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.115.194 (talk) 19:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Involvement with IT Price Inquiry
Ed Husic is notable for his involvement in the IT price inquiry - investigating why Aus pays more for IT software. -- I don't have time to confirm details: can someone add this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.192.192 (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
