Was the first BRW Rich list in 1983 or 1984?

The article claims "The Financial Review Rich List was first published in 1984", giving two citations in support. One is this one, of which the editor who added it (that's you, @Rangasyd) clearly did not look past the headline, as the text of the article clearly says that "the first BRW 100 was printed in 1983." The second citation is this, in which the editor (no less) of BRW claims that the 2013 Rich 200 is their 30th list, the first having been done in 1984 (he may be specifically referring to the Rich 200, to the exclusion of a "Rich 100" list perhaps dating from 1983 - but ignoring a Rich 100 list altogether strikes me as odd).

I can also find this article, by one Kate de Clercq, averring to "BRW's first Rich 100 (as it was then) in 1983". I thereby infer that the first BRW Rich list was the Rich 100 in 1983, followed by a Rich 200 in 1984, and each year thereafter until becoming the Financial Review Rich List in 2017.

Thanks. It would appear that the first edition of an Australian "rich list" was 1983. Clearly, my bad, assuming that the 25–26 May 2017 article wasn't edited subsequent to this edit by me. Based on the 2017 statement (from a WP:SPS) by John Stensholt, who edited the rich list for many many years, it's clear that the first edition, as the BRW Rich 100, was in 1983; and then morphed into the BRW Rich 200 the following year; before becoming The Financial Review Rich List in 2017.
