One of the less shitty parties, Australian Voice, has a name that's so right wing coded I've spoken to at least 2 left leaning people who put them low on the ballot despite being a party that's pro Palestine, anti landlord hoarding empty buildings and seeking to leave AUKUS. Name has real "Voice of America" vibes.

It's so weird, half our right wing parties are things like "the Australian people's party" and half our "left wing" parties are like "superior Australian patriot party"

the left parties presumably evolved out of the "worker's rights but not for aborigines, pacific islanders and chinese!" type of labour activists?

Australia's Voice was founded in 2024 though

Either that or "Leftist with CIA characteristics"
