Edits for Victorian MPs   Ive realised that in the interests of consistency Victorian MPs terms could be counted from the date of election Ive discovered that both the NSW  Vic parliaments officially count the beginning of the term of MPs from election day Whilst I do not agree with this method and sometimes it can take several months after election day before candidates are officially sworn in this is the way terms of office are recorded at least in NSW  Victoria and in several cases dates of actual assumption of office do not appear to be available
