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]

That is denoted in the footnote. ZlatanSweden10 (talk) 12:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Liberal Party are no longer supporters of economic liberalism, they are right-wing socialists

There has been a significant shift in the economic ideologies of this party, which have been influenced by the Nationals to some extent. This party now supports compulsory acquisition of land to build state-owned nuclear power sites, and they also have proposals to introduce forced divestment powers for many industries in Australia’s free market including but not limited to supermarkets, aviation and retail. This significantly shifts this party’s overall position towards right-wing socialism and populism, with a major increase in support for economic intervention.
