just read up on the beliefs and policies of the Liberal Democrats. some interesting ideas, but overall seems to have learned nothing from how 'murica operates. 'murica.
summary:
Privatise just about everything.
Free media, free speech, pharmaceuticals taking over the country
cheaper childcare
less tax
no minimum wage, retain OH&S standards, but thats about it.
No on-going foreign aid
No benefits for Torre Straight Islanders or Aboriginals
legalise the ganja
smoking indoors
less national standards, and focus on competitive states
basically, government spending would be more than halved, but a lot of stuff would go to shit.
Pirate party seem to be on the money with most things, but dont really bring much new to the table other than internet and privacy.
Sex party seem ok, albeit more of a muchness to the major parties. dont like their policies for assylum seekers, but interest in nuclear energy is good.
