Sounds awesome to me. The good thing is that nothing has to change for that to happen. It will truly be the will of the people, which has been driving the decline in primary votes for the duopoly for decades.

Sorry, should be centre-right'

I suspect a centrist or centre-left party will emerge and enjoy some success, perhaps be some decent competition for Teals. But more Indies will arise also. Right-leaning minor parties will make some loud noise but slowly fizzle into oblivion.

Sadly true. That's why I subscribe to three Indy media mobs, even on a pension. I need to know what is, not a view through a narrow keyhole.

I suspect this will improve once Indies gather power and minority guvs become the norm.

If #auspol truly reflects the composition of the actual population, I think the coalition will splinter and perhaps even the Libs themselves into factional parties. It will be interesting to see where the big money goes then. The RWNJs will then have license to double down further into oblivion.

Yep, and 'the Australian people' refers to the rapidly dwindling base of the Net zero nutters trashing the party.
