    It might improve things but only relative to where are now. Like he could well be an effective counter to One Nation but that doesn’t get them back into government.

    It’ll certainly fire up the rusted-on culture-warriors who watch Sky After Dark and take horsepaste for their wind turbine syndrome. Though, since Australia already has compulsory voting, this probably won’t yield a significant number of extra votes. Meanwhile, the bourgeois women voters in leafy suburbs who shifted to teal independents don’t look like they’ll be coaxed back into the tent by this.
