‘Extended La Nina’ does not have a good fit with recent decade long droughts in OZ this century. As in the same period as USA droughts. Un-researched observation.
Quick look gives this 21 century being the worst period for drought ever in OZ. As west USA heads foe worst ever droughts over similar period, indicates CG effects. Short time frame etc etc.

Except Williams was saying La Nina meant
– dry SW USA
– dry southern Andes
– wet Australia (perhaps just northern coasts)

AIUI, the northern coast is getting more rain, but in bursts from typhoons. The rest of Australia is aridifying, to be sure.
