Since Australia is hanging upside down from the bottom of the earth, everything is backwards there. Liberals are the more right wing party.
Nice to see a country keep the original meaning of liberal associated with freedom, as opposed to the US where FDR bastardized the term to mean "not quite as authoritarian as Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini".
You are right about FDR but the article sounds like the Aussie libs in question are not the good guys.
The Liberals supported this legislation. As a South Australian I won’t be voting for either of these scumbag parties.
