In any thread concerning Australia, please refrain from refering to lefties as 'liberal'. The Liberal party is the name of the main conservative party in Aus. Along with the National party, they form the conservative coalition that currently governs Australia. No offence dude, It just gets confusing.

Sorry I don't speak Australian very well. In the US liberal means "red commie marxist rat scumbag".

Thanks for that explanation. Australia is then using the "Classical Liberal" definition which has been stolen from much of the rest of the world and means the opposite.
