Labor is just a little right.
Our other major party, who are far more to the right call themselves the "Liberals".
When a new minor party started calling themselves the "Liberal Democrats" (espousing Libertarian values), the Liberals complained to the Australian Electoral Commission (who are in charge of running elections) that the Liberal Democrats were deliberately trying to cause brand confusion, they were promptly told that the Liberal Democrats name was far closer to the actual meaning of the words.
It's all a bit of a farse.
The LibDems are just Liberals who want to smoke weed.
Same shit.
And deregulate everything, and reduce funding to schools and hospitals...
Indeed.
