Ok guys, here's something I've been working on for a while now; in a style that has potential. But, that said, it's my first attempt of a timeline on these forums having been a member for nearly 18 months: so questions, comments and concerns are welcomed. Fortunately, for the reader and writer...
At one point during the 2004 campaign, the ALP, led by the erratic Mark Latham held a slender lead over the incumbent Coalition government, led of course by John Howard. However, they would go onto lose with Howard leading his government to a historic fourth term.
Your challenge, if you chose...

An excellent beginning for what hopefully shall be an excellent timeline. Your prose is superb and makes reading the timeline an even better experience. Keep up the great work :). Any ideas as to how the United States would be affected culturally if Kennedy was not assassinated? You...
Indeed, it was a great timeline, one of the Atlas Forums best. I attempted a timeline on their, it seemed ok at the time but it lacked everything that an alternate history timeline ought to have, so I'm planning on bringing it back here! Anyhow, its a shame since that board appears to have...
Not a problem at all Japhy :) When Rocky gives praise he does not do so lighty. There is, however, one problem: you haven't updated in nearly a month. Any forthcoming updates on the horizon?
Chif in '49, of course. He was one of the most decent men to ever serve as Prime Minister of Australia and one whom oversaw profound change (ah yes, when Laborites fought for what they believed in no matter the political costs). Such a scenario would have some rather fascinating ramifications...
Joe Biden.
If not for being selected by Obama as his running mate, he would be selected. Joe always had an overwhelming desire to become Secretary of State and would have jumped at the opportunity if Hillary was selected as Obama's running mate. Bill Richardson would also have been touted but...
One possibility would revolve around the concept of Malcolm Fraser never becoming Prime Minister of Australia, and for a brief time in 1975 it looked as though it would occur. The most likely scenario would involve the 1975 Constitutional Crisis. The two Liberals (their names escape me at the...
While in conversation with Maverick this morning I was alerted to this timeline, and it’s a cracking read. A great format and the relationship between the Professor and Ms. Paige which shall be most interesting to follow within the upcoming updates is most amusing. Not to mention of course the...
Instead of selecting Hubert Humphrey as his running mate, President Johnson instead selects the other Senator from Minnesota: Eugene McCarthy (he was, after all, seriously considered by the Johnson camp in 1964). Perhaps, butterflies result in Johnson taking up smoking again at the height of...
President John Chafee, despite his selection of Bob Dole as his running mate.
He should win comfortably in an election that should see a record low turn out, even worse than in 1968 when incumbent President George Smathers ran against Senator Barry Goldwater. He'll carry on the legacy of his...
What if Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles never succumbs to an accidental drug overdose in August 1967? What would the ramifications of such be and most importantly would The Beatles continue beyond the disastrous RL Get Back sessions? A bit of a Beatlewank I know, but it is rather...

A great read this is, and to think I've taken this long to comment on it. Who would have guessed that with civil war breaking out in Argentina in 1955 that Bob Dylan would become a successful jazz musician, Roy Jenkins would become Prime Minister and Jack Nicholson starring as Napoleon...

Glad to see you have begun another timeline. The Presidency of Henry Ford has already taken a dark path and its only 1925. God knows what will ensue once his first term is up. Looking forward to forthcoming updates as always. Here's hoping that this timeline sees butterflies effecting...
