    Isn’t Australian society very similar to American conservative crap?

      Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.

      No, Australia is already outright owned by plutocratic mining corperations. In the US they have to go through all the lobbying and buying millions of trumpcoin.

      Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia’s right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.
