Australian politics is a joke. The opposition, regardless of whether it's labour or liberal, will oppose decisions purely for the sake of opposing.

You really think Mark Latham would go to war with George Bush?? lol, no way mate.
For the most part what you have to say is almost true.. in that labor or liberal, most would join a war effort, but this has been a perculiar war outside of references such as the first gulf war and run by arch conservatives in the US with geopolitical agendas and supported by a conservative party at home.
With Mark Latham in charge I think we can categorically say that he wouldn't have gone in with them.. Also no, our opposition parties don't oppose just for the sake of opposing, sure they've got to do their job by always having something to say and trying to amend legislation to find a middle ground.. thats a GOOD thing.. but on many many issues such as the recent big one in border protection they agree on.
