I once had to explain to a university graduate that the Coalition is two separate parties who join together to form government, and if the ALP were in power (this was in the Howard years), they would not become the Coalition.
Oh dear.
I was eleven during that particular spill and it was SO EXCITING. (My early enthusiasm for Hawke had waned a bit now that I had matured and reached double digits, and I was a keen Keating supporter. I still regret that he was gone before I was old enough to vote.)
