Well actshually... Australia used to be run by right-wing nutjobs. The current mob in power are centrist nut jobs.

The power behind the throne in Australia is still right wing nut jobs and corporations

I feel like Australia and New Zealand is kind of like England and Scotland in that sense.

Australia is essentially just Texas out in a remote corner of the world. Just a bunch of mining and oil companies running a country.

So your telling me Capitalism is destroying the planet everywhere regardless of the nominal government "in charge"?

I'm really curious (as I'm not living there) what the difference is. Is it just their religious tendencies? Or is it their feelings towards the nebulous "other" that defines them?

In Australia there are two major political parties, Labor and Liberals.

Liberals does not mean what it does in the US, they are the right wing party, who are in a coalition with the Nationals party which is even further right wing.

Labor is now centre-right as they kept running on centre-left policies and losing.

The defining difference between the parties on the domestic front are that Labor supports and Liberals oppose

  1. Social safety nets

  2. Universal medical care

  3. Taxation of corporations

On a foreign policy front they parties are broadly aligned however their stance on how to deal (interact) with China is vastly different, where Labor engages the Liberals attack China endlessly which resulted in a trade war which we're still feeling the effects of.

This is a very shallow examination of Australia's political landscape but I'm not a political commentator.
