The Liberals are now Right-wing

Currently, the Liberals are ruled under a supermajority by their hard right factions, their leader, Peter Dutton, is the furthest right in decades, and he is arguably homophobic (opinion, but he rejects same-sex marriage). The party has also been reviewed by politicalcompass.org , one of the most credible websites for politics in this day and age. They put the Liberals at Far-Right authoritarian, but currently Australian politics are skewed to the left of the U.S.A and other Western nations, so it is best to call it Right-wing. 120.21.77.25 (talk) 10:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just quickly chiming in to say politicalcompass.org is in no way reliable and has had some insane takes on the positioning of political parties over the years. — Czello ^(music) 10:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See prev talk entries on this very topic J2m5 (talk) 10:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Liberal is Far-Right, they aren't fascist nor racist. However, Dutton and the National Right have become the majority within the party, and the other factions are now very weak in comparison. I would be bias if it was allowed (talk) 12:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC) sock strike[reply]

Is nobody going to address the out of place chart in the middle of the page

Just below the info box a chart awkwardly separating two paragraphs has remained for quite a while now, unless i missed it, nobody seems to have brought up this glaring eyesore, so i figured i would

What should be done with it? i admit its a nice bit of information and explains things well, but surely there is a better way to go about it Auspol4 (talk) 14:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it recently and it was immediately re-added. It's not only out of place having a giant diagram there, the chart itself is poorly laid out and contains multiple errors. Go ahead and remove it again. ITBF (talk) 14:56, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Position

We're doing this topic again. It's obvious that by now, the Liberal Party is NOT centre-right and that they are right-wing. Peter Dutton is a right-winger and moved the party more right. The party isn't centre-right anymore as mentioned before. Richie1509 (talk) 22:16, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
