Thanks for looking after this Australian notable! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Australia Project has recently changed their Australian Notables categories. We are now moving all the profiles currently under the Australia, Notables category to one or more of the sub-categories - see Australia, Notables category for the sub-categories and Australian Notables for information on how to include an Australian Notable category as part of the Notables sticker. You can also check if you have any other profiles that need moving under this category by going to the category and choosing 'Limit to Watchlist' on the top RHS.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me,
Thanks so much! Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project
