Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association claimed in an circularized email that those currently calling themselves ‘progressive’ were actually regressive. They were regressive because they wanted to:

• Maintain the right to kill unborn babies up until the moment of birth.
• Embrace any sexual perversion and have society affirm it.
• Dismantle capitalism and replace it with socialism or communism.
• Abolish the family.
• Centralize and expand state power and control.
• Censor the speech of anyone who dares disagree with them.
• Expunge any vestige of Christianity in America.

That pretty well applies to Australia. Indeed, the conquest of language is a necessary leftist goal.
