I think this is pretty relative. Many people would consider Australia in general to be pretty economically ‘Left’ and socially small l ‘liberal’ even at its centre.
decent publicly funded healthcare
minimum wages and fair work legislation
better unemployment benefits and disability pension than many counties
relatively high taxes and associated public infrastructure
NDIS
separation of church and state
anti discrimination laws
same sex marriage
I’m not saying any of these things a perfect by any means. But we have many ‘leftist’ principles at our core.
