it’s an indication we need to spend more on education.

Or, rather, better education. I obviously can't speak for everyone's schooling experience but most people I've talked to all had a pretty sterile one, where the most political thing you'd hear is a teacher subtly saying Whitlam was great for arts and education. Yes, there's a trip to Canberra and a bit about how the electoral system works, but that's extremely neutral for obvious reasons.

Now, political and religious neutrality in schools has its benefits (look to some places in the US where some regions are biased so hard they're outright lying) but at the same time, we don't learn about important history. Honestly, as interesting as it is, substitute out ancient history for our country's own history, including post-WWII history.

I think after the most recent fiasco he's realised that he is deeply unpopular.

They keep dropping me pamphlets trumpeting ZOE DANIEL VOTES WITH THE GREEEENNNSSSSSS and it just makes me wanna find a tim wilson poster, whip out my lil' posca and add "The man so stupid he doesn't know what a teal is"

Voldamort might win for the same reasons trump won.

Which reasons?

It's an important question - we have a very different political environment. That doesn't mean abhorrent reactionaries like Voldy won't take power, nor we won't see similar trends like you mentioned, but, for example, there is high voter turn-out due to mandatory voting and less voter disenfranchisement (~90% vs. 64%), our closest analogues to Trump (Palmer, along with their party leaders) are uptight and lack the public speaking skills to inspire confidence, they sound like generic posh politicians reading scripts rather than casual and approachable, with their party polling under 2%, and with the Lib-Nat Coalition nosediving after the US inauguration (similarly to the conservatives in Canada).

At least Trump was elected a few months before our election, so people can see what a piss-poor job he's doing, and what a load of bollucks his promises were.

It looks like at least news.com.au in Australia has turned on him a bit (Sky news though is still out there brainwashing people 150% though to make up for it)
