Reply to comment by UnicornLock in 'Shut this story down': Government released Robodebt victims' personal details to deter them from speaking out by Returnofthejedinak

Liberalism is neither left or right (left / right being oversimplified description of complicated ideas)

You can be liberal wanting small government and free market but conservative with your views on gender and sexuality.

It's not complicated, just easily misapplied. In the rest of the world, left/right is about economic policy. Notice how "The Liberal Party of Australia is a centre-right political party" doesn't actually explain why they'd be the scum party. That's just more US bias.
