Australian politics

There is an ancient Chinese saying "In times of crisis, great leaders will emerge."

The evidence of recent years indicates that there is no crisis in Australia, so that's good news.

Alternatively, since every situation has any number of applications for a good proverb, the great leaders are the Greens and independents bringing sweeping changes to the way Australians experience politics and showing the old system has very little to offer between two lizards.

Actually, I'm rather hopeful too :)

last time we had a hung parliament, it began the golden age of OZ politics, the era of Ming the Merciless, Chifley and Curtin. Given the independents have already forced much needed improvements, I'm hopeful for the future.

That would be very cool :)
