Can we not start the left/right bullshit in Australia?

    . . . How ignorant of Australian history are you? We've had left/right since colonisation, when the poor were shipped over here to work and exploit for the rich. We committed genocide against a peoples in the name of colonialism. Unions gave us the 8 hour work week before the rest of the world. Women had the right to vote before 99.99% of the rest of the world. We literally have a party called Labor who used to be actual leftists up until the 80s, when the shitstain Hawke sold out the country to neoliberalism.

    We already have it, we cannot not have it until right wing shits are dead and buried.

    And honestly the only people who say shit like what you just said tend to be right wing.

    Yes I am very right wing, great observation. 

    Let us follow in the US footsteps of dividing our nation and blaming everything on left / right. It's worked well for them.

    The fact you think such a division is the US footstep and not a global issue for centuries is astounding.
