The article appears to be heavily referenced from the subject person's own website, and refers to him by first name not last name. --Scott Davis Talk 03:25, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
"Gay and lesbian activists say Watoto and Mr Skinner are virulently anti-gay and have contributed to violent homophobia in Uganda. Mr Robert – who was also a member of Watoto's International Board – has travelled to the Ugandan capital Kampala many times to meet Mr Skinner, who says homosexuality is "degrading" and an "inhuman sin" that brings disease and destroys families.
On at least two occasions Mr Robert charged taxpayers for the travel, with the bill totalling almost $20,000. On two other occasions he declared free travel to Africa on his register of interests, paid for by Watoto."

I have deleted the following block quote as puffery/peacocking/promotional/non-NPOV (call it what you will):
“the reason that millions were able to get access and support through both particularly for the JobSeeker payment over the course of the pandemic, was a direct result of that Minister's ability to scale up and put in place one of the most significant responses we've ever seen from a social security agency in this country in our history.
He's been appointed to this job because he's done an outstanding job in the one that he's been doing. And, you know, when someone does a good job like that, then they show that they can take on responsibility, they can get things done for Australians. So for all of those who could get through to those lines, for those who are calling right now on the floods, you know over 50 million people sorry, $50 million was paid out to flood victims last week. That happened because of what Stuart Robert was able to put in place at Services Australia. It was a phenomenal achievement. People can now, when they ring, you be paid within, within half an hour.
That was first established during the bushfires when he did exactly the same thing. So when people have had to rely on him for services, rely on him for payments, rely on him to ensure that they could get up the next morning, know that that money would be in their bank account because that's what he was responsible for, then he has delivered for them. And that's why, that's why he's in my Cabinet, because he can be relied upon to deliver the services that Australians indeed rely on.”'
I have replaced it with a single sentence. Even that seems excessive to me, but as an improvement, I'll take it. Wayne 01:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
I have just deleted the following passage:
"Over 2000 people had died after receiving the debts, figures showed." (ref) https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/2030-people-have-died-after-receiving-centrelink-robodebt-notice/10821272 (/ref)
The sentence makes an unsubstantiated and quite possibly libellous implication, that the subject is causally connected to the deaths. No analysis of the cause of the deaths is provided in the reffed article, and a spokesperson for the relevant department disputed the connection, although the refutation is not mentioned in the deleted claim. The sentence failed to apply the type of caution that is urged in WP:BLP. Wayne 22:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi @HiLo48, you reverted this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stuart_Robert&diff=prev&oldid=1155184137
Let's discuss! Why do you think that Stuart Robert not attending a cancelled visit by Joe Biden should be included in the article?
I removed the words "Following his support for Scott Morrison's successful bid to become Prime Minister" from the sentence about him being appointed as Assistant Treasurer. My reading is that those words suggest a connection between his support for Scott Morrison's bid to become Prime Minister and his appointment that isn't supported by any sources. Do you have a different reading? Is there a source that supports this implication? Could we include his support for Scott Morrison elsewhere to avoid the implication?
I also cleaned up the Political Career section to make it more chronological, which you reverted. I'm interested in your perspective of why this more abstract format for the section is preferable.
Happy to move on to the 300-word section dedicated to his apparently former views on military superannuation indexation and women on the frontline of military service after we've settled the above matters. Cjhard (talk) 07:09, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
