Hawke,Keating,Howard agree budget is urgent, page-3

The era of disruptive oppositions now includes 2 terms of Libs and the current term of Labor.

It has only been able to happen because of the damaging impact of minority and micro parties and independents being gifted the balance of power.

Bipartisanship requires good intent from 2 major parties unaffected by the selfish interference of minorities having the balance of power.

Selling minor/micro/independents to the electorate is one of the biggest adverting con jobs of our times and the rise of the power of social media is right there at the heart of it ... Social media empowers radical minorities to misinform and mislead.
