Haskell programmer & libertarian. I like my code and politics the same - stateless.
A lot of people are laughing at Jacinta Allan’s machete ban. They say it’s idiotic, performative, and won’t stop the wave of violent knife attacks across Victoria. They ask, “What’s next?! kitchen knives? Camping tools?” Yes. That’s exactly what’s next. Jacinta Allan isn’t…
We're using extraordinary powers to ban the sale of machetes from midday Wednesday.
The Reform leadership tried to put me in prison on false allegations, all because I bruised your ego. Wasting an incredible amount of police/CPS time, even leading to my family home being raided by armed police late on a Friday night. You’re a stinking hypocrite, Farage.
Is Australia a racist country? Well consisting that 40% of Australians voted for a constitutional change to treat Australians differently based on race, I’d have to say at least 40% of Australians are racist (@LibertariansNSW): abc.net.au/news/2025-06-2…
Nazi = National Socialist. The Nazi were socialists.
Liberal Goes Back In Time To Kill Hitler
My late wife Rhonda with an MIT engineering degree used to say, “what they’re doing in DC isn’t 3D chess, they’re chewing on the checkers and arguing which tastes better, red or black.”
Milton Friedman explains why you should prefer freedom over fairness. “Fairness” means someone else is deciding for you what is “fair.” “Freedom” means that YOU get to make that decision.
This week marks the ten year anniversary of the office of the eSafety Commissioner. Back in 2015, only Libertarian Party (then Liberal Democrats) Senator @DavidLeyonhjelm spoke against its creation, warning of scope creep and censorship down the line. "This bill, like so much…
No laws that discriminate based on race? THAT'S RACIST YOU BIGOTS!
Abolish the following: • Race-based laws • Race-based government flags • Race-based departments • Race-based welfare • Race-based land access • Race-based public sector jobs • Government Welcome to Country ceremonies And replace them with nothing.
Anti-discrimination laws violate freedom of speech and association. Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act has been weaponised for political ends. It should be abolished. We stand with @MaryKostakidis against the complaint made by the Zionist Federation.
🚨 Just spoke up in support of acclaimed journalist Mary Kostakidis. Mary has been hauled before court over social media posts. She has fallen afoul of the notorious 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act (Google it - it's appalling). Cruelty like this does not happen in the US…
When are we going to see some #massieposting @elonmusk? (@RepThomasMassie)
🚨 Today I got the ball rolling on an amendment to the NSW Constitution that would guarantee the right own a firearm. I accept this is deeply unpopular in Australia (check out my colleague's reaction in the background) ... but that is because few Aussies have heard the…
“The interim sale ban will cover machetes, which are broadly described as a cutting edge knife with a blade of more than 20 centimetres. The interim sale ban does not include knives primarily used in kitchens.” Phew. Thank you Government and Opposition for giving me an interim…
This is the Liberal shadow education minister - how is she an opposition or alternative to Labor? The federal government shouldn't be in the business of education at all. Our national curriculum has completely failed in every key metric. We need to empower parents by giving…
More than 2.6 million young Australians attend some 6,727 government schools across the country. On this Public Education Day, we salute all our hard working principals, teachers and other educators who are changing lives in Australian public schools. Thank you for all that…
Dimitri Burshtein: 'Australia’s dysfunctional fiscal federation ensures that no state is immune from another’s economic failings. Should Victoria’s finances collapse under the weight of its own mismanagement, the consequences will not stop at its borders. Because the…
We congratulate President @JMilei on his remarkable success as President of Argentina. He has reduced inflation by over 200% and brought libertarianism to the global stage. Every day, we see more Libertarian Parties emerging worldwide. An international movement based on liberty…
The problem with kicking out the Democrats is that you're left with Republicans. The Republican led government is not shrinking, but expanding with even greater spending and debt. The most exciting part of the second Trump Administration - DOGE - is fading away. REAL ID…
🚨 Tonight I made the case for abolishing the Department of Education replacing with a school voucher system. I thanked the American 'school voucher evangelist' @DeAngelisCorey for his noble and increasingly successful efforts to introduce a school voucher system in the US.
Only one Councillor stood up and voted against a proposed 7.1% Council Rates Increase going on Public Exhibition. The rest voted to proceed with the proposed Council Rate increase being placed on Public Exhibition. I refuse to kick residents in the guts at a time when they are…
