The stereotypes of democratic decline are rigged elections or daily street chaos. However, Australia’s democratic decline is happening much more quietly, with weakening whistleblower protections and the steady expansion of laws over several years that have made protest riskier than ever. https://thepoint.com.au/opinions/260306-the-decline-in-democracy-what-does-it-mean-for-the-generations-to-come

Young people, do not stay quiet. Make it clear to the politicians that you can see what's going on and that you won't stand for it. Believe it or not, there will be plenty of Boomers who will support you.

Would that be in our esteemed state of QLD? 😂

I don't know whether they're moving to the right. It depends who/what you read.
