The ABC isn’t trying to create the One Political Compass To Place You For All Time. They’re trying to show you where you stand relative to the parties on the issues being discussed this election campaign.

That's true, and it does an alright job of that. And since the tool doesn't really take independents and minor parties into consideration, who might have such policies, there's no point in asking them anyway. My post is more a critique of trying to visualise the results in the style of a political compass.
