Anyone see any chance of Labor going into coalition with the Lib Dems?
Probably the only way they'd manage it. But almost any combination of the current non-govt parties would be better than the current buffons.

"The world may already have crossed a series of climate tipping points, according to a stark warning from scientists. This risk is “an existential threat to civilisation”, they say, meaning “we are in a state of planetary emergency”.

It was only a matter of time before they fought back
Actually Macro there might be more risk from some lethal virus which just might sort out the human condition?

America certainly got what they voted for i.e a lunatic for their president who happens to be so self obsessed with his imagined image that he needs to give us the impression of what poor Melania has to wake up next to every morning.
