Historical roll as retrieved on 16 September 2026. The cover claims an update on 7 May 2024, but the body includes October 2024 records; the cover date is stale. These are the roll's elected/vacated dates; the source says end dates before 1984 are dissolution dates and after 1984 are election dates. Party labels are historical source classifications; labels containing changes by year are not precise dated party-membership intervals. Identity belongs only to this source collection and is not merged by name with profiles or election ballots. Reviewed correction: The roll gives 20 September 1928, before the recorded 1935 election. It identifies Burnett with Parliament 25 and a Defeated ending; its key uses dissolution dates before 1984. The original New Zealand Gazette Extraordinary No. 69, 20 September 1938, printed page 2065 dissolves the General Assembly from the date of that proclamation. Together these sources support correction to 20 September 1938. The Gazette does not name Burnett individually; its reference to 20 October 1938 concerns the former prorogation date, not dissolution.

Ballot names from different elections are not automatically merged; this may be one election-specific record rather than a complete career history. This profile has no personal background, family, asset or business information. Party policy is not automatically attributed to an individual. Public-office dates are shown only where separately sourced; a missing end date is not proof of current membership.
