We absolutely are not. The only reason it may appear that way is due to older generations voting as if it's a two party system. I believe that a poor understanding of the preferential voting we have is largely to blame for many of the ALP/LNP voters.
Younger generations preference third parties much more, and the first party preference for ALP/LNP is decreasing with each election.
You can't honestly think our system is anywhere near as bad as thatbof the US when we currently have more third party seats than ever. Hopefully we will have even more next year.
