to be returned to the Parliament
0 Hello, 02 br
02 br
00 I am wondering what the following sentence means. 02 br
02 br
00 The Prime Minister represents the Federal seat of Bennelong in the north-western suburbs of Sydney and has been returned to the Parliament at every Federal election since 1974. 02 br
02 br
00 Does this sentence mean that the position of Prime Minister has been returned since 1974, that is, dose it just mean they elect new Prime Minister at every Federal election? 02 br
02 br
00 Thank you in advance. 0-

00 I am reading an article about John Winston. 02 br

00 Does this make you say something more? 02 br

00 If you were a three-time competitor in the Olympics, we'd say, "What country do you represent?" (Present tense while you're still active, past tense once you've stopped going.) You've been "returned" there by your country at every Olympics since 19__. 02 br
