I think people are scared of change so they keep repeating the same mistakes at the ballot box and so it just keeps flipping back and forth.

I agree with you. Psychology also says that the greater the change, the greater the resistance to same.

Yep. Even though they may be more in agreement with another party's policies they are too scared to risk it but until people start taking more risks or just even stepping slightly out of their comfort zones nothing will change.

Nationals leader Michael McCormack says his deputy Bridget McKenzie retains his support

MMMM THAT IS THE FIRST SIGN OF HIM GETTING THE KNIFE OUT!

:hi2 BYE BYE BRIDGET!
I digress.
I reckon he won't publicly admonish her because, either he owes her, or she has dirt on him.

But yes, her fate seems a forgone conclusion.

She is from National Party. The PM can't really touch her without breaking the coalition - he has to ask National leader nicely. But given that he has provided strong support for her, it will take a lot of horse trading. Wonder what the PM will sell out this time.

Bit of some not much from P. Funny how he always seems to be stunned.

OF course ScoMo will wash his hands of her if necessary - then why shouldn't he ?

But it is all such a storm in a tea cup as she in in the SENATE and the NATS can simply replace her with anyone they choose. NO election.

ScoMo can easily replace her on the front bench.

This is obviously another failed FAKE NEWS effort by the clumsy amateurish GetUp!.

As Julia doesn't understand... it isn't fake news when this fed no has done something wrong.
And it isn't about losing seats- it's the fact that there will be infighting amongst factions in the coalition and the effects of that.
