Comment on Is Australia's Overton Window Shifting?

Labor might not be left enough for you personally,
Left enough ? They’re about middle right. The US Dems are more policy aliged with our LNP though.
I’m not sure people get out much ? We’ve already done what the US is doing now. Australia’s refugee and immigrant policy is what America and the UK are using (off shoring), its just illegal to report on and the horror is widely supoorted by Australoans…
We deport “criminals” if they have another nationally, as the US now does , we have a bunch of ologarchs, we have legal discrimination against LBGQT+ by fucked up religious organisations. You are not an Australian citizen if you are born here etc etc
There was a strong consensus that Trump style culture wars are toxic in Australian politics
Both sides are bad here in Australia, the horror is so many people disagreeing :(

You realise this is a matter of perspective?
Policies that feel “middle right” to you might feel “radical left” to someone else.
Regardless, my question isn’t “how left are we” but “are we moving towards the left right now”.
Given that the Liberals just voted for a moderate as their new leader I’d say that we are.
