I mean we've moved socially to the left incrementally, but is any of that far left? Like what would far left social policy even be? Mandatory gay marriage? Compulsory *** change?

And we've drifted to the right economically. The only economics parameter that's changed that the left don't absolutely hate is recognition that renewable energy is cheaper and less problematic for economies. Hardly far left either is it? Basic economics 101: resources that aren't going to run out until the sun consumes the earth in 5 billion years are better for the economy than resources we're running low on already.

Meanwhile, Lullapie brings up Dutton's plan to nuclearise Australia's power grid. But neglects to mention the proposal is for the taxpayers to foot the bill because uclear power is such a bad investment no corporation will touch it unless the government fronts up the cash, at least for the public liability.

So who's a communist? Peter Dutton, leader of Australia's "right". The world hasn't gone mad, but the usual mad people are still mad, and people who consume Murdoch media are still deluded by it into thinking everyone else is crazy.
