Tony Burke has known connections with Euthanasia No and the private members bill to quash the NT Voluntary Euthanasia legislation - seems worth noting to me - note the article originally for "The Australian" - archived here : http://reocities.com/CapitolHill/lobby/1921/opinion/euthno.html JohnAugust (talk) 21:59, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope I explain myself correctly - the reason I have put down preceeded by Peter Garrett is because the Department is still under the same AAO and so is the Minister - all that has really changed is the name and the department has lost a very small part of it's portfiolo and gaied a little - but it is still administrating the same portfolio as Garrett.

Damn that doesn't make sense! CheersCanberraBulldog (talk) 03:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It might if I knew what an AAO was :) Can you link to the AAO info? Donama (talk) 04:40, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The media made much (well, some) about Ed Husic being the first Australian federal minister/Parl Sec to be sworn in on a Koran rather than a Bible. The thing is, he wasn't the first. Tony Burke was. He was clearly holding a book with Arabic writing on the cover, and the cameraman obviously noticed it because he focussed on it. He was sworn in before Husic.

Anyone know why Burke was holding a Koran? -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 09:58, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He was sworn in on that occasion on a Maronite Catholic copy of the Bible, hence it was in Arabic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.14.81.51 (talk) 05:00, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
