Hi Chisosam, welcome to SourceWatch. I am working my way through your recent changes to the Donna Staunton article. I note you added the following paragraph:

  • 2000: In December 2000 Staunton publically acknowledged that the views she held in 1994 and 1995 were genuinely held but that she now accepted that nicotine is in fact addictive and that smoking is the major cause of preventable illness in Australian society.

Can you add -- or point me to -- a source for this statement? (See our policy on references here SourceWatch:References. In case it is relevant to you, I should also draw your attention to one aspect of our policy. With thanks --Bob Burton 00:38, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

I also removed the following sentence which you added: "These criticisms ignored the fact that the salary was benchmarked against and at the lower range of all other members of the Senior Management Team at CSIRO, of which Staunton was a member." This is not supported by this reference. It may be by something else, but it needs a direct reference.--Bob Burton 00:52, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
