The Libertarian Party continue their pursuit of their ideological purity at the expense of ordinary Australians. They are opposed to any form of government regulation, and consider government not being an appropriate solution to any problem as axiomatic. For those of us who recognise that modern day life involves a lot of areas where coordination problems exist and that money is not the sole means of working out how to weigh competing interests the is a clear need for a proactive and capable government.
The Libertarian Party describe themselves as helping people, but don't actually have any policies that seem to achieve that. They want to privatise the ABC and SBS, get rid of all company taxes and replace income tax with a flat tax, significantly cut government expenditure and sell off assets to reduce government debt.
They promote bitcoin as an alternative currency, when the last 20ish years have shown that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general are not fit for purpose for use as general currency (for example, how bad does the guy who bought a pizza for 10,000 bitcoin in 2010 feel today).
Their policy for women is pure transphobia. The existence of trans people is the only thing they bring up in their section on protecting the family. They don't bring up the pay gap (which they would support as they don't think the government should interfere with private contracts), they don't have anything to support victims of domestic violence, nor any other issue impacting women.
They don't want to do anything to protect the environment and want to repeal existing regulations.
All in all, their plan is to let the rich do what they want because they don't want to hold anyone to any sort of account other than a bank account. Don't vote for them.
