Oneshot:
The underlying scenario is an attempt at a euhemerization (making less ASB) of the satirical film Babakiueria, in which an Indigenous Australian-dominated nation is accused of abusing the white minority. There are two PODs, the main being a somewhat generic post-apocalypse that disrupts food production and the industrial economy (indigenous Australians' wilderness survival skills allow them to prosper compared to the white population) and the reduction of substance and welfare abuse by the earlier introduction of kava (a mild intoxicant that does not have many of the disruptive effects of hard liquor) and the restoration of indigenous land rights in areas where white and Asian Australians are a minority. About 100 years after the apocalypse, Australia's federal government has reemerged, with each state and territory divided into new districts that better reflect both the difficulty of long-distance communication and the traditional indigenous nations of Australia, and the population of 2 million is about 55% Aboriginal/Torres Strait, 30% white, 15% Asian/African/Latino/other. However, ethnic tensions have been brewing thanks to the new, Aboriginal-dominated Parliament's so-called Intolerable Acts. The first, the Drunkenness Prevention Act, limits the alcohol content of all drinks to that found in pre-colonial Australia, defined as 3-5% ABV. This irritates the many white Australians who enjoy a beer or other strong drink. The second, the Land Ownership Act, increases collective rights over land use including declaring each constituent shire (which may or may not have an indigenous majority but which has guaranteed indigenous representation) to be the Traditional Owner of all land within the territory and allowing for the shire board to dictate land use. These Intolerable Acts played a major role in the rise of the left-wing Freedom and Justice Party (blues), which dominated majority-white Tasmania and has substantial influence in the four shires (West Kulin Principality, Melbourne Republic, Gunditjmara County, and Gunai Republic) of Victoria. This results in the first hung parliament in modern Australia, as the historically leading Refoundation Party of Australia (reds) no longer has enough proportional seats to govern. Refoundation has led Australia alone or in coalition with the multiracial Agrarian Party (green) since the reestablishment of a national parliament 40 years ago, but their decision to instead partner with the right-populist Nations' Party (formerly the Noongar Party, brown) and the Northern Peoples' Democratic Republican League (yellow) and accelerate the decline of the white population has resulted in the current crisis, in which neither a Refoundation-Agrarian, a Refoundation-Nations-NPDRL, or an FJP-Country government has enough proportional seats to rule. There is significant fear that the increasingly precarious position of the white minority, who has failed by all accounts to adopt to the postindustrial world and instead is wallowing in moonshine and nostalgic resentment, will result in riots similar to the Bogan-Kava War that broke out 15 years ago.
