  1. ^ a b Despite the references to July 1982 in the biographies of Prest and Davis, no change regarding the Leader of Opposition Business was announced in August when Parliament first sat after a four-month recess. In addition, Wright replaced Casey as Leader of the Opposition on 20 October and announced he had appointed Davis the following day.
  2. ^ Warburton replaced Wright as Leader of the Opposition on 29 August 1984 and announced Prest as Leader of Opposition Business the same day.[6]
