It may be worth noting the situation in some states in regard to the coalition - since it has been dissolved in Victorian politics, and the only National in South Australia is a minister in the Rann Labor government. Ambi 03:29, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

you could have a section "where the coalition exists" and go through what levels of government have an existing or a past coalition agreement Xtra 04:18, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This article probably ought to acknowledge Bjelke-era Queensland as an exception to some of its content, but I don't know the subject well enough to do it. --Calair 03:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other coaltions?

Perhaps it would be worth mentioning other coalitions, such as the Labor-Green coalitions which held power at various times in the ACT and Tasmania.

The "Coalition" virtually always means the Liberal-National coalition in an Australian context. The "Labor-Green Accord" is more commonly used to refer to the Tasmanian one; "The Alliance" was the term used for the Liberal-crazy minor party coalition that ruled the ACT for a while. They might warrant a sentence linking to articles on those, but this article should remain near-entirely about the actual Coalition. Rebecca 09:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] state by state

This article is a bit of a mess in how it's organised. I think it needs to separately list the situation federally, and for each state, because there is so much variation across the country. Peter Ballard 01:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

There. Now it has been re-iterated, and in the process discussed. Timeshift 02:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Sounds a bit like opportunistic advertising to me... Timeshift (talk) 16:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The CCC are never called "The Coalition". Peter Ballard (talk) 00:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Have we heard if the CCC are going to be around for another election? If they disappear, then the disambiguation would become redundant.Lester 05:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
