By replacing, I meant axing by their own party, which would the equivalent of Gillard replacing Rudd. >Barton -> Deakin (Protectionist) Barton resigned to do other things (he wasn't ousted). >Fisher -> Hughes (ALP) Fisher resigned and didn't contest his position. >Hughes -> Bruce (Nationalist) Hughes upset the other part of the coalition (Country Party) who refused to serve under him. >Forde -> Chifley (ALP) Curtin died in office, Forde was only ever a caretaker (as you mention). >McEwen -> Gorton (Country -> Liberal) Holt was presumed drowned and McEwen was only ever caretaker (as you mention). >Gorton -> McMahon (Liberal) I mentioned that one elsewhere, it certainly qualifies (and McMahon was thrashed in the following election). > > >and of course > >Hawke -> Keating. As I mentioned elsewhere that one also qualifies (and Keating barely scraped in in the following election). > >Forde (after Curtin's death) and McEwen (after Holt's disappearance) were caretakers only. > > >(any corrections are welcome) There are two precedents for mine, with Gorton / McMahon being the closest parallel. In the light of more recent events I'd suspect it's also likely to have a similar ending. :) -- John H
