DOWN HERE,  the true regressives are a lobby group known as The Australian Business Council, whose members comprise the CEOs of the largest companies traded on the Aussie Stock Exchange...

AT A national Liberal/National Parties conference in Canberra in 2012, sponsored by one Mr. Ruppert Murdoch, the Aus' Business Council presented a wishlist of more than 60 demands that would demolish workers rights, Medicare, environmental, OH&S and Industrial Relations regulations, and greatly reduce union influence and individual rights..

THEN Opposition Leader Tony Abbott promised that ABC conference that if he got into power, he would try and deliver on as many of those promises as possible -- effectively giving much more power back to Aussie bosses, and dragging workers conditions down here back to the dark days of the 1940s and 50s, even the 1880s in some cases.

WHEN Abbott became PM in September 2013, he duly set about putting "regressive" policies into place over here..
Even though people were hoping that Malcolm Turnbull would wind back on those policies when he replaced Abbott last year, nothing has changed so far...
