I wish to add the following line to the first paragraph of "Post-parliamentary career": 'He subsequently resigned from Parliament on 14 July 2008^[1] and took a consulting job with Woodside Energy^[2].' The Sydney Morning Herald has a "Factual Reporting: HIGH" by https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-sydney-morning-herald/, thus I assume it is a good source.

I wish to add the following to "Minister for Foreign Affairs": 'In 2003, ASIS installed listening devices in the Palace of Government in Dili^[3], and later Downer signed a controversial agreement with the government of East Timor for mining of gas and oil reserves in the Timor Gap.' This reference is already used in an wikipedia article, thus I assume it to be a good reference WurmD (talk) 10:29, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
