The Australian Labor Party narrowly secured 76 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives in bid to form a new cabinet. In the next three years, Australia will be led by the administration with a narrow victory. As a fragile administration that seeks supportive votes from the minor parties and independent senators in the parliament, it inevitably maintains its conventional diplomatic policies in terms of the Sino-Australian relationship, without significant changes and not to mention decisive resolutions to improve and bolster the relationship. The Opposition Party that constantly pursues oppositions against the administration will exploit such rare opportunity a fragile government presents in 70 years when the Opposition Party can pick on the diplomatic policies and create some obstacles and difficulties. Australian scholars with in-depth knowledge about political games in Australia reminds that in forthcoming years the groups outside the parliament and various interested groups in Australia will become extraordinary active in every aspects, such as the Sino-Australian relationship. Tibetan and Xinjiang separatist forces will probably raise pressure on the ruling party that require the Opposition Party’s cooperation through lobbying effort by the Opposition Party with respect to other affairs such as significant domestic affairs, thus forcing the ruling party to make compromises.
