[edit]

The story really needs a decent time line ( I haven't seen any complete ones in the media) , a list of main players e.g. Bronte Moules , the person from the U.N. who examined the AWB's contracts, who was who in the AWB ,intelligence reports ( from the Australian O.N.A ) and links to the general topic of corruption ( and to its theoretical aspects : general conclusions about risk management and corruption) , whether the previous government( Keating) would have picked this up and to other countries investigations of matters related to the Volcker inquiry.

The section Lies Exposed appears to be sensationalised and opinionated.

Review the heading making sure that it fits with the content. In particular the lines "Either Alexander has Lied to Parliament, or on oath at the Cole enquiry which is clearly a breach of law." and "Clearly the government is negligent of knowing." seem to be portraying more opinion than fact

I agree. The editor is putting forward their own opinion, and given the whole section is entitled "lies exposed" despite Commissioner Cole not yet concluding if any lies have been told, I removed the section until such time as lies have been independently verified, rather than in the eyes of an anonymous editor.

Whatever people may think about the current Australian Federal Government and its policy and decision history, this article is not the place to do it. Some cleanup is also needed. Therefore, I've placed the {POV} and {cleanup-date} tags at the top of the article.

I reckon an expert will have to sit down and write a nice, clear article regarding the Inquiry once it's all over. Should we ask a couple of journalists - one from News Ltd, one from Fairfax - to do this? Sentinel75 00:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Is this article writing the conclusions before they've been formally published? Sentinel75 00:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a redirect from Cole Report to this page, as the report is now being referred to this way in the media. Shermozle 00:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cole Inquiry → Inquiry into certain Australian companies in relation to the UN Oil-For-Food Programme – Official name for this Inquiry is the proposed new name; located here. The Cole Inquiry is the more casual use of the inquiry's name. It also assists in disambiguating from the Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry, sometimes called the Cole Royal Commission. It seems silly that we use the full title for one Royal Commission, but the casual name for the other. Rangasyd (talk) 13:12, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose as the argument seems to ignore WP:COMMONNAME. Dicklyon (talk) 04:47, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Cole Inquiry (Oil-For-Food Programme) maybe, but not the proposed title -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:50, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Cole Royal Commission should redirect somewhere. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:53, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm going to trust in WP:CONCISE for this. Oppose, though I respect the point made in the nomination. A hatnote would be a great idea. Red Slash 04:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Cole Royal Commission now redirects to Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry. Rangasyd (talk) 12:15, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
