AEC website highlights seat results & two party-preferred, but actual primary figures are buried. So it is difficult to discern that the ALP are likely to form government with just over a third of the vote, (which is better than 2022's 32.58%). We do not have legitimate representation.

Will Trump's tariffs lead to a massive increase in smuggling into the USA? The Mexican drug cartels already have the systems in place. The Canadians have a very long border. Drones exist. Potential for more corruption in US ports seems nontrivial, especially since US very pro-corruption at present.
