Age

Sources differ on her current age. The New Zealand Herald says she's 61,[1] while Stuff says she's 63.[2] I presume a more authoritative source will come to light by the time she's sworn in.-gadfium 20:13, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it would be better for Wikipedia to be silent on this until there is reliable verification. --Pakaraki (talk) 20:52, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that it is better to state that sources differ. It's a high-profile article, and it won't be long before some other editor thinks that the age is missing, and one of the ages will be added. So we might as well show what it is that the various sources say. Schwede 66 21:23, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vegan

Dame Patricia Lee "Patsy" Reddy is vegan - that should be recorded considering New Zealand is a farming nation. Or is that observation of objective reality too controversial?

The article is long enough that adding this would not be undue. Schwede 66 00:05, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
