McMahon Replaces Gorton as Australian Prime Minister
William McMahon was sworn in as prime minister after the Liberal party voted 33-33 and Gorton abstained, ending his three year term. McMahon plans a coalition cabinet with Industry Minister Douglas Anthony and will review Gorton's Vietnam policy while reaffirming anti-communist stances. Gorton may become defense minister amid cabinet reshuffles and Fraser’s resignation signals more political mobility.
