Hey, question for you about the subject of your DYK hook - do you know why Roberts and Kingston had a falling out over franchise reform, such that he'd assist in defeating Kingston's government? It's a fairly significant vote historically, and it's absolutely not obvious why they'd have a dispute on that vote or whether Kingston and Labor had a split or whether Labor split internally.

I thought I'd try and answer my own question and maybe add a couple of sentences of additional context, but stumbled across [http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110193380 this] (and a bunch of other articles) suggesting that a) Labor did very much split, and b) when criticised, Roberts claimed he was not, in fact, a member of the parliamentary Labor Party at the time. He then seems to have ratted on Solomon a few days later and again switched sides to support Holder. As best I can tell without a deep dive, he and [[Alexander Poynton]] (who we acknowledge as Independent Labor) voted to bring down Kingston against the wishes of Labor, and Roberts alone then switched back.

It seems like something that probably warrants mentioning, and I'll get around to doing the deep dive eventually myself but thought I'd draw it to your attention as well since it pertains to the DYK for the article.

Hope it hasn't thrown too many obstacles in the way. The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:33, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Roberts DYK

Hey, question for you about the subject of your DYK hook - do you know why Roberts and Kingston had a falling out over franchise reform, such that he'd assist in defeating Kingston's government? It's a fairly significant vote historically, and it's absolutely not obvious why they'd have a dispute on that vote or whether Kingston and Labor had a split or whether Labor split internally.

He then seems to have ratted on Solomon a few days later and again switched sides to support Holder. Poynton and Roberts seem to have very much acted against the wishes of the Labor Party in bringing down Kingston, and Roberts alone then switched back in ousting Solomon.
