AFAIK the HSC/BOSTES has never said anything about what their interpretation of the IUPAC rules is, the syllabus just says that they need to be known ("identify the IUPAC nomenclature..."). For the 2012 paper when they stuffed up the multiple choice IUPAC options, the notes in the marking guidelines say "Teachers are reminded that IUPAC provides a system for the clear communication of chemical nomenclature", which I think is their way of saying "We're going with the official IUPAC rules", i.e. first point of difference since 1979. So I'm pretty sure it is a case of the textbooks/teachers being wrong and cribbing off each other for literally decades... ???

Lol hi!
Well I mean if this is true I'm not going to be surprised either lol.

2012 gave me the biggest confusion ever last year though.
