Comment on Zero stars for the Young Liberals
pupbiru@aussie.zone 10 months agoBut by American standards, they’re the equivalent of the Democrats
on the economy alone… they’re definitely more like the republicans on things like minority rights, climate, etc

Actions-wise, the LNP are not that far from the Democrats on social issues. They called the same-sex marriage referendum, passed gun control laws, supported a voice to parliament (until Dutton), mostly ignored trans people. The issues they’re right-leaning on are Israel (like the Democrats) and immigration (like the Democrats).
Climate change, is the one social (and economic issue) they’re to the right of Democrats on that I know of.
And of course, if you take the National party on it’s own then it’s definitely to the right of the Democrats.
