    the left are generally anti development

    I guess that depends which left your talking about. Labor are very pro development and make a huge number of building approvals plus big road development projects like the north east link and the level crossing removals.

      I actually find state politics to be very different than federal or even local politics. Here in NSW, Labor have massively ramped up development, even more than the Coalition did (their head of the department of planning suggested some corruption is acceptable for accelerated development). However they put the brakes on public transport projects started by the Coalition.

      Local council level Greens and Labor are all anti-development NIMBYs though.

      Probably goes to show that “left” and “right” aren’t really monolithic terms.
