Serious gap to be filled[edit]

There seems to be a gap here - it jumps straight from his term as A-G to judicial inquiry some ten years later - where is the missing material? Lacrimosus 11:24, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This was close to being the first page I started. My method was to map a page out with headings, and then slowly start to fill the text in chunk by chunk. Someone objected to this, rightly, and stripped away all the headings, leaving only the rather disconnected text left behind. I've been meaning to get back to this, and probably will some day, but in the meantime it would be great if you wanted to have a crack at it. --SilasM 20:26, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Online magazine reference[edit]

The source offered did not form any sort of credible description of the event, so I removed it. Slac speak up! 05:46, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that the source was not a good one, but AFAICT, the facts claimed in the edit were a reasonably accurate description of what was alleged against Murphy. I've re-added most of the claim, minus that source, and clarified what followed. Dates etc come from [1] - I haven't listed that on the article page itself because it only mentions them briefly, while discussing Wran's contempt case for remarks made in relation to Murphy's trials. Anybody less lazy than me can check the archives of any Australian newspaper for coverage of the cases. --Calair 01:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

File:I did not raise my girl to be a voter3.jpg[edit]

I don't get why this image is in this article. This image is about women's suffrage in the United States, so what does that have to do with Murphy? howcheng {chat} 23:20, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ABC Four Corners 20.11.17[edit]

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation television programme "Four Corners" on 20 November 2017 was a documentary on the "Murphy Affair", including interviews with several surviving protagonists. It is temporarily available on ABC iView, but I'm not sure how to cite it. Wikiain (talk) 12:15, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Judicial Career[edit]

Legal Studies in some universities have a course of study on Lionel Murphy's minority judgments on the High Court. e.g on Lindy Chamberlain. Narrow majority verdicts also e.g. on the Franklin River. I think the quotes that are in the article/entry would be a good guide to writing this, or better, Jenny Hocking's well researched biography. It will take a bit of time but I may have a crack at it. But , of course, I don't mind if someone else want to have a go. But let us know on these pages as I don't want to spend time at the desk and find that someone else has just done it!Gladiator-Citizen (talk) 05:51, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
