[edit] Norm Foster

Since Foster resigned from the Labor party between the 1979 and 1982 elections, surely the comments on his resignation from the Labor Party belong here, because it affected the balance of power for the 1979-1982 parliament. Rocksong 04:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as he resigned in 1982, just before the elections, I don't agree. Therefore, i've added the comment back to 82, clarifying the term, and will leave it on the 1979 page. Timeshift 05:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

In my view of the world South Australian general election, 1979 shows the 1979-82 parliament, and South Australian general election, 1982 shows the 1982-85 parliament; and Norm Foster's resignation is relevant to the former only, so it belongs on the former only. But I'm not going to start an edit war at South Australian general election, 1982 over it. Rocksong 06:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
