Basically has changed Australian elections from a 2 horse race to a Labor-wins-by-default “race”.
It’s going to be interesting going forward.
You think that if the libs and nats collectively have a majority, they won’t reform the coalition? What this means is they campaign on different issues to appeal to altered demographics, but the end result means you don’t get what you voted for. So, less honesty, if that possible.
However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for democracy in general that people see coalitions form with compromises on their policies. It paves the way for more small parties to gain seats and be in minority government.

Yeah. Even if they don't get back together (an event I doubt will occur...whether it's in the next couple of months, just before the next election, or before the 2031 election), if their combined parties have a majority, we're guaranteed to see a supply & confidence agreement to form a Gillard-era-style minority government at the very least.
