Three rules:
- One election per post
- Don't skip into the future
- Wait at least two turns before going again

1960: Eddie Ward (ALP) [1]
1963: Eddie Ward (ALP) [2]
1965: Gough Whitlam (ALP) [3]
1966: Gough Whitlam (ALP) [4]
1969: Gough Whitlam (ALP) [5]
1972: Phillip Lynch (Liberal-County coalition) [6]
[1] Elected with narrow majority Government
[2] Increased Labour majority. Robert Menzies stands down as Liberal leader.
[3] Replaced (the very ill) Eddie Ward in a leadership spill.
[4] Despite criticism that the Government is betraying America by not committing troops to Vietnam, there is an unexpected electoral landslide for Labour as Whitlam invigorates the Parliament and makes powerful use of TV as electoral medium.
[5] Whitlam narrowly scrapes back in with a much reduced majority. His vision for Australia in the form of Medicare (nationalised medicine) is proving popular with the majority of the voters. Tories promote an active campaign which sees his hold on power markedly reduced.
[6] After twelve years in power, voter fatigue catches up with Labor and Whitlam retires gracefully after another close fought election. In his concession speech, he highlights everything the Government has achieved; Medicare, free tertiary education, a new national anthem, new rights and recognition for the indigenous population, growing connections with Southeast Asian neighbours. Lynch, a pro-immigration modernizer of working-class origin, becomes the new Prime Minister, but with a recession on the way, can he hope to accomplish as much?

[7] "Toe Cutter" Lynch is defeated at the polls when he refuses do anything substantial about the recession. Australian people are hurting. The ALP offers salvation, which it delivers on.
[8] Labor wins yet again; Conservatives start to split; But Bob Hawke waiting....
