  • It used to be closer to the former, the rise of The Greens as a third force in Australian politics has been a result of the right faction of the Labor party pushing them away from some of those roots as it desperately tried to win elections. Many Greens voters are former voters from the Labor left. With Labor’s main opponents in complete disarray, however, there is potentially a greater possibility for it to shift left over the next term (and longer, depending on how quickly their opposition regroups).


  • I can see them go full Trump and get aligned with our extreme right wing parties and billionaires and make their own truth social and just double down hard calling it a hoax.

    They might do that but it would mean political extinction. The Liberals simply cannot form government through appealing to fringes on the right, it just doesn’t work like that in Australia with compulsory voting. At this election there was literally a Trump party running in every seat, funded by a billionaire who was spending insane amounts of money (as he has done in previous cycles). He gained absolutely nothing and actually went backwards.
