WI Sir John Kerr gets cold feet and grants Gough Whitlam the half-Senate only election he wanted?
Malcolm Fraser stated that had Kerr granted Whitlam the Senate-only election, the Liberal-NCP coalition would have had to pass the supply bills as they had had to a year earlier with the 1974 double dissolution.
Nich Hills, the Australian expert on soc.history.what-if back in the day, said that, after a decent interval, Fraser would have been rolled and someone else - Hills suggests Andrew Peacock - would become opposition leader and win the federal election that is due in 1977.
