When the Prime Minister Harold Holt died in December 1967, Hasluck was determined that the Treasurer, William McMahon, of whom he had a very low opinion, should not become Prime Minister. Although he had no great ambition to be Prime Minister himself, he put his name forward mainly to provide an alternative to McMahon. But many Liberal MPs saw him as too old at 64 and too conservative to compete with the Labor leader, Gough Whitlam, and they chose the younger and more aggressive John Gorton.
The infobox lists his place of birth as Gosnells, but the article lists Fremantle. While these two places are close-ish (about 20k apart), they are NOT the same place. Was he born in Gosnells or Fremantle? Grover ( talk) 02:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 ( talk) 06:40, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
