Talk:Father of the Australian Senate

Ron Boswell
From July 1 next year Ron Boswell will be the longest serving member of the Senate. PMA (talk) 16:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

period lengths
Many of the times served are displayed as "x years, 364 days". This appears to be by using the template as introduced in an edit by moondyne in November 2007. I belive these durations are a day short: 1 January to 31 December is a year, not a day short of a year. January 1 is the beginning of the next year. The same is true for July 1 to June 30. It is a full year. These periods should be listed as "x+1 years" instead. The template is probably correct for its intended purpose (age) but wrong by a day for terms of office. Does anyone agree or disagree? --Scott Davis Talk 13:36, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have made 1 July -> 30 June periods a full number of years. I didn't touch any others, but they might be a day short, too. --Scott Davis Talk 13:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Purpose of this list
I've raised a serious issue that affects this list, @ Talk:List of longest-serving members of the Australian House of Representatives. Grateful for any comments. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
