Talk:South Australian general election, 1975

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a very interesting election, if you're going to be working on doing another one. You've got to hand it to Dunstan here; winning despite federal unpopularity, and the opposition splitting into three different groups. michael ^talk 00:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eastick

I don't spose you or anyone else might be able to source a photo of Bruce Eastick? He's no longer in the public arena so an image cannot be found so an image used would be considered fair use, whether it be an online photo or one scanned from a book someone might happen to have lying around :-) Timeshift 03:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Eastick was a deadweight and a nobody, scarcely mentioned in any material I have. There's no easily accessible images of him, and I doubt any of us are in a hurry to wade through the state archives. michael ^talk 04:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Upper House

I don't think I got the upper house totals correct. Does anyone know what the process was with the sitting members? 8 Lib and 2 ALP from the 1973 result combined with the 1975 result? Timeshift 14:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, according to Antony Green.[1] (Though he says it was ALWAYS 8 Liberal and 2 Labor, which I find a bit hard to believe). At the moment the article has 6 Liberal and 4 Labor carrying over, which appears to be wrong. Rocksong 23:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. So the 1975 LC was formed by 21 members instead of 22? Timeshift 04:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Apparently so. Weird. Rocksong 05:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ted Connelly

Does anyone know much about this fellow? I type [/"ted connelly" parliament/] in to google but get no results at all apart from wikipedia keyword findings and two other useless links. I can't find a parliamentary page on him either. Timeshift 12:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
