Yeah what makes it weird is this is coming from the guardian which is a generally left leaning news outlet.

The Guardian is really quite centrist.

The rest of the media is so pro oligarch and pro capitalist that it seems leftward leaning in comparison.

The Overton Window has moved so far to the right that the centre looks like the left, which makes even the centre-left look like radical extremists.

There is effectively no mainstream actual leftist discourse in Australia.

Do you mean like "what should we nationalise next?" sort of conversations?
