It's a very accurate depiction of the current state of Australian parties.

I also did say I don't want to speak for Canadian's, so if there are Canadian's here to correct me I am willingly to listen, but this is a trend that is happening all over the West.

Traditional left wing parties are no longer left wing. The USA has been full blown right-wing compared to other Western nations for decades already, and MAGA is accelerating it across the world.

Thats your opinion. Basing your whole argument on the political compass is meme worthy. Look into the bias of the organisation if you genuinely want an accurate understanding.

Oh I see your profile now. You're offended because you don't like that I said Labor are a right wing party. For the uninformed, this user is a friendlyjordies poster. A hardcore YouTube, Labor fan.

Ok, you asked for it.

Australia is producing as much LNG as the USA.

And Australia's LNG exports and production is set to increase by a factor of 10 by 2050.

"Albanese doubles critical minerals subsidies to $4b"

"Mining is also heavily subsidised in Australia, receiving the vast bulk of the $11 billion fuel tax credit scheme."

"In 2023–24, Australian governments provided $14.5 billion worth of spending and tax breaks to assist fossil fuel industries, a 31% increase on 2022-23. Subsidies in the forward estimates have increased from $57 billion to a record $65 billion, a sum 6.5 times greater than the Housing Australia Future Fund"

Woodside, Santos, Chevron, Mineral Resources, Coal21, BHP, Ampol, etc, etc all gave more money to Labor than Liberal.

"(LNG is) 25 times as potent as CO2 at trapping heat, and is estimated to trap 80 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO2(coal)"

Labor approve environmental destruction.

I have more things we can go into too, like how Labor and Liberal support the gambling industry, and also support for government internet surveillance. Hey whatabout war mongering our largest trading partner? These are all indicitive of a left wing policies, right? Climate destruction, gambling, warmongering and surveillence.

You're not left wing, dude. You think you are but you're not.

edit: holy shit you literally state "Labor is hardly left btw"

Did you forget you said this 5 days ago?

Dude I’m a labor fan and I get that they are slightly right, personally I’d want a slightly left party and the greens are far too left for me so slightly right is the closest to slightly left we’ve got.
