I don't think we should just ignore the 99% of the rest of our political history, including the actual policies we have right now, and the politicians we have right now, in favour of painting our own commentary of Australian politics overall based on the pandemic response. We should call it what it was, which was neither left nor right, but a bout of authoritarianism. That is something Australia actually does have a trend towards. I agree that might be when you judge a politician, hence why I brought up voting, but that isn't even what we are talking about.
