I think anybody who is complaining that there is too much partisanship taking place at the federal level is just suffering withdrawal symptoms over the complete lack of partisanship taking place at the federal level.

The Opposition have stated unequivocally that they will support every decision the Government makes. The Government has shifted a light year to the Left - way, way past Labor - in their policy response to the crisis. The Unions are working closely with a Right Wing government to ensure every base is covered. The Government is working closely with a Labor-majority National Cabinet to coordinate decisions at the national level. The Government has left State matters to the States to prevent an overstep of jurisdiction.

The peripheral parties - the Greens, Pauline Hanson etc - have by and large been keeping their nut out of it to allow the Government not to have to deal with politics, and the Opposition have agreed fully with every step of the Government's plan to date, varying only in a matter of degree.

If people need to complain about 'the other side' because they're bored or in a perpetual puddle of misery then go right ahead but don't kid yourselves, the country's politics is about as neutral as it has ever been. Ever.
