I don't know much about him, other than the fact he is from the far right faction. Which suggests to me the Liberals are going to continue their slide into minor party status.

Where does the centre right end?
Where does the right right end?

Where does the 'far right' begin?

If Angus Taylor is Far Right, what is Wassam Al Bozo? What are the Brown SHorts?

Pauline must be ultra etrame far far far ultra schmultra.

What IS FAR RIGHT?

Soooooo..... no 'far right', then. You just smuggled that in yourself.

Still, the question stands:

where does centre right, right, far right end and begin? What do these labels mean?

Or do we (well, you) just bandy them about SO AS NOT to think?

In Canada, being warm is a luxury. Often a necessity for survival. Here it is a curse.

In cold countries, they know how to keep warm...

In Australia, we haven't mastered the art of building homes where the inside temperature is even year-round, such that in those parts of the country that do get cold in winter, the houses don't turn into ice boxes.

I used to be involved in Straw Bale Home & Building builds.
Straw Bale has an R-rating of 26 compared to a double brick veneer rating of just 12. All others are below 12 in insulation R ratings.
Heat a Straw Bale room for 1 hour and it retains warmth for a max of 6 hours.
Everything else fails after 1/1 hour.
This is all proven by Universities and engineers. Something the local Councils and conventional Builders don't want you to hear because Straw Bale is 77% cheaper (max) on the Build cost.

Now I'm sure Tradies and Companies are charging the ALP maximums when it comes to tax payer's money for these homes the ALP is promising but still not delivering.

The liberal party is on the right and that faction is the furthest right of the 3.

Given that the most damaging seats the liberal party is losing is the inner-city heartland seats to the teals (they are just as likely to form government with Labor as Liberal), a lurch further to the right is not going to help them. It will just cement them in as the anti-scientific climate change deniers, and give the teals a chance to coalesce into a real party. They have had more than a few loose cannons over the last decade making them look like complete morons.
