your use of the word 'surely' suggests that - yes, it's obvious that any government would need a 'while' longer to sort out the mess.

there's a problem - and it's to do with the word 'while'

indeed, more than one problem

1. yes, if Oz were to sort out it's mess in normal times- it would probably take decades. It took decades to come to this and it will take decades under normal circumstances to extricate it from the bog.

2. a Liberal government is NOT capable of fixing things - morrison got one thing right - he said that the Liberals are not an ideas party - Labor is

3. A fix - would mean that a non Liberal government would have to be in power for decades to get traction and keep it - AND it would have to do BIG things, radical things

4. All of the above 'might' be possible with something like a coup. But there's one giant elephant in the room which throws out all of the above ---------------- that we are NOT in normal times - this is a changing era and the changes in the next decade to 20 years to 50 years are going to sweep away all changes in human history collectively before it

Point 4 is a doozy - but it might be also a saviour too - because anything that will fix Oz's problems atm has to be big, radical and have endurance over many years ------------ IMO, not possible, it's also that when countries come under such stress - they chop and change governments in desperation - meaning that Oz would lurch back into Liberals at some stage - the very people with no ideas.

But, the world will be a totally different place economically when technology brings us almost literally full automation - and we don't know yet how we can make an economy work without any paid human labour - so, maybe with an enormous amount of luck - someone will find a magic solution and Oz will be saved - we can only hope.

Think the changes won't be that big? ------- well, Rishi Sunak interviewed Musk in the UK only days back - Musk said, it won't be long where people won't have a job, they won't need a job, they will be able to have a job if they wish, for personal fulfilment - but, nothing more

Sunak laughed at that -------------- a laughter outburst to cover his fear ------- because he knew Musk was right - and Sunak knew that he had no idea at all how we would cope with the economic reality of that ----------- what it actually means.

you can see Musk comment here - it misses Sunak's nervous laugh

here's a fuller version - probably worth watch the whole

most of us have no idea at all in what is coming - the scale of it and the speed of it ---------- it will change all of our worlds
