| We'd managed to avoid that ugly situation for quite some time now.
For those who don't know how the Australian Parliament works, it goes basically like this: the party that holds power in the Upper House (Senate) has the power to stop stupid things happening, but can't initiate new legislation themseleves. The party in the lower house (House of Reps) can initiate new federal legislation, but it must be passed in the upper house. Thus it makes sense to have one party in the upper house, and another in the lower, and more sense to have a middle-ground party in the upper house looking out for the people as it has been for years (decades even). This is not the case any more, and worse it's the right-wing socially impaired fascists that have the power to do whatever the **** they please -- something that should never have happened. |
