Bachelor degree year and Australian education system[edit]

The article currently says In 1996, he graduated with a Bachelor of Business and a Bachelor of Arts, and received first class honours the following year. His official website says Bachelor of Arts (Hons) / Bachelor of Business (Mgmt) - Monash University - 1997. Is this a discrepancy, meaning one of these years is incorrect, or does the Australian education system allow you to continue beyond graduation to attain honours? I'd appreciate assistance in clarifying the article and the modeling on Wikidata at d:Q4727288#P69. Daask (talk) 16:11, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, this comes from his parliamentary profile, but normally no, you would graduate with honours. My suspicion is that he graduated the business degree in 1996 and continued with his Arts honours in 1997. Hard to confirm though. Frickeg (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
