Freaki, I agree. When I moved to Australia, Fraser was PM and he was seen as rather right wing ... now, he's supporting the Greens. I guess that shows how far right BOTH the major political parties have moved.

Allie, I think Hanson is sooooooo responsible for the swing to the right. When I arrived here, it seemed to me like Australia really wanted to overcome the racial issues of the past. Then Hanson showed that racist attitudes won elections ... Howard bought into that instead of opposing her views ... now the ALP is, too.

Breaks my heart.
