By my calculations, Philip Ruddock overtook Sir Walter Cooper in length of service to the Parliament on 7 May 2010.
Cooper was in the Senate from
a total of 36 years 227 days.
Ruddock entered parliament on 22 September 1973. He equalled Cooper’s service on 6 May 2010, and overtook it on 7 May. -- (Jack of Oz =) 202.142.129.66 (talk) 23:43, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Does anybody know how to calculate Bishop's final length of service so the last sentence of lede can be updated? I can't find any discussion of it. JennyOz (talk) 09:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
