I just made an edit of "Queensland Labor Senator Bert Milliner" into "Queensland ALP Senator Bert Milliner". This is to avoid confusion with an actual party called the Queensland Labor Party (QLP) which was formed in 1957 when Premier Vince Gair took 25 ALP defectors to make up that party. The QLP subsequently merged with the Democratic Labor Party (DLP).--The Shadow Treasurer 02:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Start of Senate term

I've reverted these edits which set Colston's Senate term beginning on 1 July 1976—yes, it is usually the case that Senators begin their term on 1 July after their election, but not in this case: the Australian federal election, 1975 was a double dissolution election, all Senators elected took their seats immediately, i.e. on 13 December 1975. --Canley (talk) 02:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
