From my observations, I think that is the perception the media promotes and is one of the main underlying causes of the frustration in society today.

The loony left are made out by the media to be just a nuisance and they have a valid reason for their behaviour.

The loony right are made out to be militant agitators who have no right to their opinion.

However if we look at violent actions, the loony left are just as responsible, as the loony right.

How many looting and rioting incidents have happened in the name of a good cause?

If you look at violent actions at polling booths, you will find most of it is perpetrated on LNP volunteers, very few if any are carried out on Labor/Green/ Independent volunteers.

But the media would have everyone believe that the LNP are the ones who are extremists, it is just a case of the media constantly reinforcing a belief, which in turn leads to public frustration.

Both extremes left and right are dangerous, to believe the left is less violent than the right is a fallacy IMO, they are both loonies.
