    In Australia, like most liberalist countries, the ‘right wing’ of government and mass media has consistently been pro-privatisation and anti-nationalisation. Their ruling ideas are often echoed by their support base, the ‘right wingers’.

    The centre Labor Party have also privatised major assets, including Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Telstra and Qantas, however “the difference between privatization under Hawke-Keating and Howard governments, is argued to be one of ideology”, the right-wing Liberal Party’s economic liberalisation.

    Right wingers are usually the ones to scream “communism!” When you suggest nationalising stuff.
