This is my assessment of the current political situation in Australia:
The left:
- Centre left: Turnbull Coalition. Where Labor was ten years ago.
- Extreme left: The Labor Party. Where the Greens were ten years ago.
- Sinister left: Greens. Proposing ever more extreme and dangerous policies.
- Somewhere on the left: Nick Xenophon. Also Jacqui Lambie, Derryn Hinch.
The right:
- Conservative Libertarian: Liberal Democrats – David Leyonhjelm and Mark Latham.
- Social Conservatives: Australian Conservatives – Cory Bernardi. Also Lucy Gichuhi
- Immigration Conservatives: Pauline Hanson One Nation.
