Reply to comment by LakeChaz in Australia argues against 'endangered' Barrier Reef status by Clameleon

So yesterday I saw someone in this sub describe Australia's new centre-left Labor government as a "centrist" party to the previous government's "conservative".

Today I see someone describe the centre-left, social democratic, Labor party as "conservative".

Can't wait until tomorrow to find out the Labor party is fascist now.

May as well complain when I call the US Democratic party conservative. Just because you're further left than a party that thinks a 2% reduction in emissions will save the planet (when science does we need closer to 75%) doesn't mean you aren't conservative. They won thanks to environmental concerns not thanks to progressive social policies.
