Citation of the hook: I am uncertain as to the suitability of the source used to cite the hook. It seems to be a puff-piece published on the website of a political organisation that I suspect might not be independent of the subject. Having another source would be great. I have given the article a light copyedit, and it is otherwise good to go. --

Otherwise, the original may be good enough.

I'd like some feedback on the quality of
this source, which also supports ALT1.
This looks a bit more reliable (look at the "Panelists" tab)

From experience and gut feel, bios like that one in ozmate are rarely properly fact-checked. They are often supplied by the subject. It seems that the factoid you need to cite should be easy enough to source, and I am surprised at the apparent difficulty in finding one that states that assertion unequivocally. ABC is generally considered
reliable, though, and adequate for our purposes.
