Surprised that no-one yet has commented on Wayne's days as blog-identity MichaelF, has Catallaxy adopted a forgive-and-forget policy?

The wiki is entry is incorrect. I can't recall the exact dates but Glyn Davis took over as Director-General in 1995 & I'm pretty sure it was prior to the election. This article refers to Rudd having announced his intention to quit & seek Federal preselection at the 1994 Premier's Conference in Melbourne (Apparently Kennett gave him a courteous send off).

Bad – On Swan I agree, but for Rudd that isn’t what the Wiki says. Do you have a link or support for your claim? I’m happy to look at and post any evidence you can find.

“Myrddin Seren, in comments, raises a good point.”
Also a factually incorrect one; neither Swan nor Rudd were public servants at the time of the 1995 election. Swan was in federal parliament & Rudd had resigned as head of Premier & Cabinet prior to the election.

I’m not usually sensitive but each time I have checked Catallaxy today the title of this thread has put me off.
