We
could, but it's unlikely.
The only way we're going to have Parliament cleared out is if we have a double dissolution, which is generally only done if we've got a completely deadlocked Senate (although once in 1975 there was a constitutional crisis). The 2016 election was one, which backfired completely.

This would make sense; we're geographically closer to China than any other Western nation (unless you count Russia
) so it's best for us if we're able to make a mint from their economic growth. Not sure about how this'll turn out for us in the future though.
There were conspiracy theories Turnbull was soft on China because his
daughter in law comes from over there XD
