 Our most anti-market Party is the Nationals, by a wide margin. A monopoly Board for every commodity and every service, and "annual certification" for everything if they ever rule alone. My late grandfather was unironically a far-right Socialist, and at one point rather prominent in National Party internal politics in this state. (Sorry!)

The Greens are a mixed bag of Communists and crony-capitalists, but mostly just very irresponsible and stupid.

Teals and Liberals are pure crony-Capitalists, who love regulating and monopolizing to benefit donors, and Labor sits between them and the Greens.

We had one actual market capitalist party - the Liberal Democrats - but the unelected AEC bureaucrats deregistered them after they started winning senate seats...
