El Niños tend to result in drier conditions across Australia. Which of these is likely to occur in Australia during La Niña?

Since Australia is located in the Pacific ocean, extremes of weather and climate happen throughout a season. El Niño is traditionally defined as a dry climate with reduced rainfall; in this happens to be more extreme in Australia because of its location. La Niña on the other hand is traditionally defined as a wet or cool climate with lots of rainfall; and this is indifferent as La Niña in Australia tend to be more extreme too.
