Australians today ejected the rightwing coalition government that has held power for almost a decade

That was no “right wing” government. It was a totally woke, far left government that carried out brutal, crushing covid lockdowns. Go woke, go broke.
Meanwhile, Djokovic is laughing his head off as we speak.

Morrison was akin the Bush wing of the Republican Party, he screwed over so many of his supporters they finally gave up on him, in this case it’s not that Labor won the election, it’s the conservatives didn’t show up to compete, thinking what difference it makes when both sides are the same for the most part.

If MAGA is ever defeated by the Republican Establishment, the USA will go the same way, regardless of how bad things get, Democrats will continue to win, Conservatives will not show up, thinking rightly that doesn’t really matter.

The labor party is probably even more woke, left and crushing than the liberal party they just defeated. Just look at where the Covid lockdowns are most onerous in that country... it’s in the Labor controlled states.

That’s what I thought when I read the article.

I wonder if they mean European right which I believe is hard core fascism.

Left and right is different in America. I always looked at it as a scale of %Government control. Left is 100%, right is 0%.

How much more woke is the “labour” party?

So in their wisdom, the Aussies rejected a woke party for a much woker party. I’m sure things will work out much better for them.

Actually, it is worse than that.

Most of the crazy lockdown types were in the provinces.

The conservatives were busy “playing by the rules” watching their citizens get turned into slaves.

They excel at losing.

Not so true.

The brutal, crushing covid lockdowns where done by the various Australian STATE governments. Victoria, for example, is/was led by a notorious Labor (democrat) party (ALP) Premier, Daniel Andrews, who had police busting heads of anyone out and about without a mask. Queensland is led by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk (ALP), South Australia Peter Malinauskas (ALP), Western Australia Mark McGowan (ALP), and Northern Territory Natasha Fyles (ALP). Only the states of New South Wales and Tasmania have Liberal (RINO) leaders.

The Australian federal government doesn’t do epidemic laws—that’s up to the states.

No, it wasn't.

Those brutal, crushing COVID lockdowns were done by socialist state governments in Australia. The federal government was constitutionally unable to stop them from doing it, but the federal government didn't impose a single lockdown anywhere and opposed nearly all lockdowns.

Morons who cannot understand the difference have helped put the party that imposed those lockdowns in some states, in power over the whole country now by allowing the wrong people to be blamed.

Those ‘brutal, crushing lockdowns’ were carried out by the LEFT State Governments. The Federal government in Australia had no jurisdiction over the various State Government Health directives.

The Federal Government during the pandemic was the conservative coalition.
