"Climate Change Minister Greg Combet puts a new complexion on the Coalition front bench."
From ABC News
Politically, Australia is very different from America and political labels are a big example of that. Down under, Liberals and the Liberal Party is the Center-Right party in Australia. See, down under, Liberals, are well, Liberals. And the Center-Left party, the Labour Party that's now in charge there, are Social Democrats. See, down under, Socialists (Democrat Socialists and Social Democrats) aren't trapped in the closet, don't live in the closet politically. Because social democracy or democratic socialism, is popular down under. But so are the real Liberals and liberal democracy, people who would be called Classical Liberals in America. But they're just real Liberals and not Socialists, who call themselves Liberals instead.
