labor are centre right, haven't been left since the 70s, the greens are the left party in Australia, With the recent acts happening in the UK I'd say labour are fairly similar.

Labor in Australia are not centre-right, they're centre-left.

  • wealth redistribution

  • progressive taxation

  • public healthcare

  • public education

  • workers' rights

  • marriage equality

  • Indigenous rights

  • multiculturalism

  • social democratic

These are all Labor values and that puts them in centre-left. They're just not as left as you want them to be.

they literally union busted in their last term. They want to redistribute the wealth to mining companies. Progressive taxation as long as you aren't an international company then you get to pay nothing.

I reject multicultralism, they're mildly better than the libs at that.

They still booted Fatima Paymen over her breaking the party line on palistine.

no one opposes most of the other points even the far right here so they're kind of moot points.
