As much as I hate the Liberals, if it effectively shifts the Overton Window left, I'll call the Liberals working with Labor in the senate a win

The Liberals only ever work with Labor in the Senate when Labor is trying to do undemocratic authoritarian shit like the social media age verification law or the pro-major-party campaign finance law.

Agreed, will be good as it will require all parties to compete to pass bills!

Though sadly it probably is just temporary until a liberal spill occurs in a few years. Sounds like the Nats leader did a bit of a dog act announcing this now to Sussan
