Someone needs to fix the box so that it would say the following:
Prime Minister before election
Billy Hughes
Nationalist
Resulting Prime Minister
Stanley Melbourne Bruce
Nationalist/Country coalition
Timeshift reverting the box back the way it was, makes it misleading as Hughes did not lead a coalition with the Country Party at the 1922 election and this election saw him being replaced by Stanley Melbourne Bruce.
I suggest one looks at the 1948 Irish election article which states the consequent Prime Minister was John A Costello even though he was not leader of any party prior to that election. It is basically the same thing that happened with Bruce at the 1922 Australian federal election.

I agree altering the infobox to remove the coalition, as was not formed till after the election. However I am against altering the resulting Prime Minister to Stanley Bruce, as Hughes was the resulting Prime Minister, Bruce didn't become Prime Minister till almost 3 months after the election.
