Cultural Marxism is not a valid or existant branch of Marxism. It simply does not exist and it has no members, it is a figment of the rights imagination.
It is a scare campaign and an election strategy, sometimes just an insult when they have nothing else.
The number of current Australian active socialist is a very small number out of that the number of Marxists is a vanishingly small number across Australia maybe a few people could be as low as single figures from our 26 million population say something like 5 or 6?
From that 5 or 6 marxists none are Cultural Marxists. Zero, Nada, zilch, not any, it isn't a thing.
Would you sleep better at night if we called it WOKE ideology?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WokeBeginning in the 2010s, it came to be used to refer to a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights. Woke has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and reparations for slavery in the United States.[1][2][3]

It goes back to at least 1938:
Quote:One of the earliest documented uses of the word was in 1938 by Blues musician Lead Belly. His song, “Scottsboro Boys,” recalls the true story of nine Black teenagers falsely accused of raping two white women in 1931, in Scottsboro, Alabama. In introducing the song, he uses the word to signal an awareness that justice may not be as blind as she’s purported to be—not if you’re Black in the Jim Crow South:
“I made this little song about down there…I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go down through there. Best stay woke
. Keep their eyes open.” Quote:American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and reparations for slavery in the United States
No wrong at this time it was referring to structural racism, the problem invisibly built into systems.
