Freedom Party https://freedomparty.net.au/ * A new party, which seems to have been formed by anti-lockdown loud mouths who hate Daniel Andrews. I'm with them on the Dan Andrews front, but not so much just for the lockdowns in particular. * They're subtly against renewable energy, saying they'll "end subsidies to inefficient energy industries" while they'll "Halt closing down of Victoria's power stations". * They want to boost investment in regional Victoria through tax incentives, which is nice. But I prefer reducing population as a solution to Melbourne's unsustainable growth rather than spreading the problem around the state. * They want more lenient firearms laws, and have a lot of specific policies on this. Not a free-for-all though, much of it has some merit. * I do like their approach of using third party audits to investigate government departments "deemed to be outside of approved spending targets and limits". * They're into "holistic and complementary medicines", which sounds like something for the anti-vaccers amongst the anti-lockdown crowd. C: L+ They're here for the Dan Andrews haters who don't like the Liberal party either. I'm in that camp, but without enough of a right-wing bent to find myself at home with this party. Their confrontational approach also isn't to my taste. -----------------------
