Speak to any Young Liberal and it won’t be long before you hear the phrase “nanny state”. In fact, we have a Senate inquiry into the evils of the nanny state going on right now instigated by that champion of small government, David Leyonjhelm.
Sounds good. We don’t want no stinkin’ bureaucrats telling us what to do!
We shouldn’t have to build pool fences or wear bike helmets. We shouldn’t have to vaccinate our kids and we should be able to smoke when and wherever we want. Food labelling is unnecessary and there should be no laws restricting media ownership or content. We should all carry guns so we can keep the nation safe. Free trade and tax cuts are good. Minimum wages, penalty rates, wage rises and welfare are bad.
The conservative government’s aim is to privatise everything and let the market rule. /
Just shows how stupid your source is with selective quoting, leftist media is so biased.
We should not be forced to build pool fences, what about those who don't have kids or the kids have grown up why should they be forced to build a fence, are the nanny state leftists saying fences are needed so tresspassers can be safe?
You can rent a pushbike in Paris for $1 Euro a day, no helmets are required, why should adults be forced to wear helmets when riding push bikes are they incapable of making a choice or do the nanny state lovers like the revenue raising from fines for not wearing a helmet?
Leyonhjelm has a degree in Veterinary science so he is a fan of vaccination, he supported the bill to remove welfare payments from welfare bludgers who don't vaccinate.
Can any dopey leftists cite where Leyonhjelm said we all shoud carry guns or do people pluck that bullshit from their asses?
LDP policy says people have to qualify for permits to concealed carry, Leyonhjelm has won a few small bore pistol shooting comps he is a better shot than the majority of the police, he is a lawyer,a vet, masters in business administration and a politician, I have no problem if he wants to carry for self defence when travelling west of Belmore.
Tax cuts are good it stimulates activity, Milton Friedman won a Nobel prize for Economics, the LDP follow the Friedman model.
If you look at the LDP policy on smoking it's rather sensible compared to Shorten who wants poor labor voters to pay $40 a pack.
If a restaurant wants to allow smoking and you dislike smoke, well don't go to that restaurant.
The Henry report on Taxation says the company tax rate is too high it should be reduced to 25%, this reports says the tax cuts will pay for themselves and more, article in the Australian financial review on this.
We should privatise everything the government never does anything cheaper than private business.
How did that private airport at Toowoomba (Wellcamp) get built so quick and cheap so we can export produce, was it because the government had nothing to do with it?
