Challenge: AU Liberal dynasty

How can we have Fraser win in 1983 or Howard in 2007?

There was a Liberal dynasty, old boy.

They traditionally think of themselves as our 'born to rule party' in this country federally and in several of the states.

Anyway, I think a Fraser victory in nineteen eighty-three is difficult, but Howard's government winning a surprise re-election in o-seven is more likely.

Just have Mark Latham burn across the political sky three years later than he did in OTL. That, plus having Beazley Labor stop the Coalition from winning a senate majority in 2004, should be enough to provide the conditions for the federal Libs/Nats to fall across the line one more time.

But I don't see how you can prevent the rise of Labor as the dominant party here after the seventies. Hell, because of our three-year Commonwealth parliaments, you could easily see conservative victories in '83 and '07 just lead to early election defeats two years afterwards in both cases.
