According to another topic on this, this means that the left-wing effectively controls all of Australia, I'm guessing.

These days, probably very centre.

The Liberal-National coalition in this country has been pushing further and further right.

i think Red means Left in most of the world.

the US had the "Red Scare" to mean Communists, how the hell did red switch over to right wing conservatives?

Not this year, but over the summer it'll probably be pretty damn bad, because we're coming out of La Nina (lots of new growth and fuel in the understorey)

Yeah, unfortunately I think this is just temporary.

Hopefully the loss at the federal level and of all states & territories but Taswegia gives the LibNats a wake-up call and they realise people don't want them to go *further* right (LOL as if).

It's actually a really recent development. During the coverage of the 2000 election, news networks decided they were all going to use red for the Republicans and blue for the Democrats when they were showing electoral map graphics, and the colors stuck in the public mind.

The specific story I've heard is that NBC used blue to denote the incumbent party, which is why the Democrats were blue in 2000, and the other networks conformed to this to reduce confusion.
