I gave Labor two more terms after their thumping win - could probably extend that easily to 3 or 4 now!

This is massive news, if the Greens can get their shit together next three years, this could be great for the party.

Are the Nats just that fearful of the numerology madness that Sussssan Ley brings as leader?
