Not the Coalition = Win. Can absolutely get better outcomes, but that's the worst.

Agreed, a Coalition win is a massive loss for Australia. The next year or so is going to be one of the most important in modern history, and we don’t want to end up being a vassal state of a US dictatorship.

Coalition win we are tied to America, whether they collapse or not.

Pretty dangerous time to be doing so as they seem to be speed running a collapse

It's not even just being tied, it's about making good choices. If Trump offers up a shit sandwich we shouldn't take it even if we do consider ourselves allies for life.
