Ideologically speaking, the traditionally left-wing Labour as well as the conservative Liberal parties have moved to the cen-tre over time. Keating has begun to push harder for industrial deregulation like his right-wing opponents, while Howard, who attacked the Government's multicultural policy in the '80s, has become visibly pro-Asian. Howard has also eased up considerably on his anti-immigration policy. And though the Opposition says Keating has neglected ties with Europe and North America and is pursuing a covert policy of isolating China while wooing ASEAN, it has not proposed majorchanges in the current foreign policy.
