It will be interesting to see what attempt at re-branding they do. Will they try to offer something or continue to be a party of attack dogs.

Importing the US culture wars failed them so badly that the entire party is still in shambles years later.

I don't know anything about Australian politics, but, like, generally, isn't it safe to assume that if you call your group "The Coalition", you are the bad guys?

Like, that's one of the group names on the Bad Evil Group Handbook, page 1

My first thought is Americans saying "coalition of the willing" to describe roping other countries into committing war crimes with them.

For future reference the Coalition, in AusPol terms, is the name given to the Liberal and National parties who work together as a right-wing alliance.
