As an Aussie, I'm grateful for everyday that the LNP is not back in government. Labor might be inadequate and sometimes infuriating, but they're not outright evil bastards like the opposition.

Luckily, just like with Obama II, people can’t see further than one term and don’t realise we should have been using the first term and all of this term to get rid of the 2 party system.

Translation: Australia isn’t fucked right now, just delayed in getting fucked.

With outright majorities in the upper house as common as hens teeth, its pretty inarguable that we have something more complex than a two party system.

We do, but the lower house is not elected proportionally (as the Senate is), resulting in the two major parties having a disproportionate share of the vote.

We don't HAVE a two party system
