Real Date of Australian Color Intro?

[AndrewM]

The information on that Wikipeadia link is misleading.

It does correctly state the official start date of colour as March 1 1975.

While colour transmissions occurred before this date they were not intended for large scale public viewing.

Anyone can, but be sure to quote a good reference to back up your edits, say a book about Aussie television, magazine article from the day, or newspaper. A reference good enough to use in a term paper in college. Maybe the Aussie FCC web page says something.
