This article investigates and revises the conventional wisdom about aggregate‐level electoral change at Commonwealth elections. Unlike previous Australian analyses, it distinguishes temporary from permanent change and uniform from heterogeneous change. It also formulates rival hypotheses about the extent, timing and source of such change, and it tests them with a new source of data. It shows, in sharp contrast to the conventional wisdom, that significant aggregate‐level change occurred at virtually every election between 1910 and 1969. In so doing it directs attention to the infrequent but pivotal influence of voters upon the scope and direction of public policy in Australia
