Progressivism isn't one side of politics, it exists on both sides of the broad left/right divide, just as Conservatism does.
Change for it's own sake which many progressives tend to embrace these days is in my opinion stupid.

Australia[edit]

In the past few years, the term "progressive" has been used in Australia to refer to what used to be called "The Third Way."[citation needed] The term is popular in Australia, and it is often used in place of "social liberal." The term "liberalism" has become associated with free markets and small government; in other words "classical liberalism." Progressivism is used to differentiate between the two-party political system of the classical-economic liberal Liberal Party[citation needed] and the protectionist-working class Labor Party.[citation needed]

The Australian Greens represent the third largest political party in the country, polling around 12%[13][14] with 9 senators and one newly elected member of the Australian House of Representatives (elected in the 2010 Australian federal election). The party espouses progressive ideologies, together with grassroots democracy and participatory democracy.[citation needed]

The Greens are the Progressivism Communism Parrty

Carbon pricing is a free market mechanism. Direct Action is a communistic scheme.
Liberals are a Conservative Communist Party

Your point?

You do realise the the ALP call themselves The progressive party these days... they've all buy turfed out every conservative in the party.

Calling oneself progressive while pushing policies that are conservative sends a mixed message.

Its the ends that justifies the means. You of all people should know that, yet you are confused.

Trickery is a tool one uses to try and fool the voters. Does the means justify the ends, no in the longterm. This is why the Greens annoy the old parties. The Greens don't use trickery.
