Failing that momentous event the current shemozzle will roll on and final collapse will be only an election or two away.
It is a popular idea right across Australia to remain calm in the face of adversity and wait for things to return to normal. But the whole point of this period of history is that we are in a rapid transition to new realities. There will be no return to old ideas of normal.
Many voters know that. Turnbull has tapped into this idea in a moderate way. The Greens are working on a new strategy built entirely on transition and it looks like being very successful. Meanwhile, the ALP blunders on playing games that are out of date and wistfully remembering the happy days when Tony Abbott made such irrelevance viable.

Like many other organisations the ALP will have to adapt quickly or die.
