Wrong dates

Every single date in the table that I have looked at so far has been wrong. Not just a little bit wrong, but completely. Take, for example, Colin McLachlan, who apparently took office on 24 August 1975. Well, McLachlan was National, and National only got its majority in the general election held on 29 November 1975, before forming a government on 12 December. So 24 August is evidently wrong. Any idea what's going on? Schwede 66 18:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strange. I think the original list was from Bob Stott's book - will find where I put it in the bookcase... --LJ Holden 09:11, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
