The line being taken by Richard Herr surprises me a little, because although entrenched oppositional behaviour (opposition to practically everything for opposition’s sake) is a natural consequence of a two-party system, it is frequently argued to be as much a progress-retarding publicity-driven pathology of such systems as a functional feature. Actually in particular contexts it can be either, or both at once. It is also surprising to now see the same call for normal Opposition-type behaviour coming from some of the same people who normally support a break from the conventions of the two-party system. Or at least, it would be if that level of inconsistency was not so common in Tasmanian political debate.
