He died in 1984, aged 83.
Wackett was 82 when he died, not 83.
Full reasoning
Wackett's birth and death dates are given as 13 August 1901 and 3 August 1984. Because he died 10 days before his 83rd birthday, he was 82 at death, not 83. The Australian Dictionary of Biography's life summary and the People Australia life summary both explicitly list his age at death as 82.

The age at death is wrong here: Wackett was 82, not 83.
Full reasoning
Using the dates shown in the article itself—13 August 1901 to 3 August 1984—Wackett died 10 days before turning 83. Authoritative ANU biographical records therefore list him as aged 82 at death, not 83.

On 14 August 1928, Wackett married Doreen Dove in Melbourne
Authoritative biographical records give Wackett's marriage date as 14 April 1928, not 14 August 1928.
Full reasoning
The Australian Dictionary of Biography says: "On 14 April 1928 he married Doreen Ivy Dove at All Saints Church of England, St Kilda, Melbourne." That conflicts with the article's claim that the marriage occurred on 14 August 1928. The month in the article is incorrect.
