Liberal party in Australia is the centre-right party. I am guessing they'd still be left of the US right-wing but that's beside the point.

- tw1984 4y agoI personally won't label the Liberal party as a centre-right party or left of the US right wing when it is currently led by Peter Dutton who is a typical far right element in modern politics. I also struggle to categorize its recent former leader Tony Abbott and his close mate Joe Hockey who was the Treasurer as "centre-right". We are talking about a priest who was famously & accurately labelled by the only female Australian Prime Minister as a misogyny - that speech was voted for the No.1 moment in Australian TV history! These two are the people who want everyone to believe that it is a life style choice when people don't buy & drive ferrari. Oh, let's also don't forget what happened to Liberal's actual centre-right leader Malcolm Turnbull. He was replaced by a bulldozer PM who is responsible for the use of automated machines to force the most vulnerable people to fork out billions of $ to cover their non-exist debts so his federal budget can look better to his supporters. Is this centre-right?
- robbiep 4y agoThe Liberal party, for all its recent decade plus of derangement, is still clearly a center right party on an international scope. It would, for example, be anathema to degrade the level of services we experience in this country (and the Libs did pump a lot of money into services over the last few years, even whilst favouring private schools and clawing back robotically cash from those unable to fight back)
