Stuck in the 50's, they are pure white elitist trash imo.

Libertarianism is great if you don't like thinking things through
Look at how many people are into crypto. A libertarian wet dream that will destroy the governments ability to govern if it ever truly takes off.

At best, libertarianism might work on an individual level, but it's not viable on a societal level.
You can't have everyone just doing their own thing and expect to have a functioning society at the end of it.

Firstly he claimed the Assyrian attack in Sydney was an attack on all Christian’s.
Then he went to imply Albo was part of some mass conspiracy to silence everyone and suppress information whilst Christian’s and Jews everywhere are getting constantly attacked.

I think it's more a case of trying to build a base. A complete nobody before he became a Senator, he's got one term, knows it and he's all about trying to find a spot for himself in the far right ecosystem when he leaves office.
I guess you need hobbies and interests when you retire. Some people play golf, some people spend time with family, perhaps others get involved with nut jobs.

He's been nuts since he became QLD Premier, if not before.
Good.

Hard to tell if Crisafulli will win over Brisbane still, but Miles is unconvincing and the ALP are in real trouble outside of Brisbane. That, and Rob Borbidge shows it's possible to win from a GC seat (though even his performance in Brisbane was mediocre).
Laura Norder looks like paying dividends this time because it's not being overshadowed by larger issues (COVID).
Libertarians have long been the main proponents in seeking freedom from governments and their tyrannical insistence on over - governing. All in the pursuit of creating a tax-free utopia , a place with no gods or kings and no PMs or Presidents. It’s just followed by people that don’t want to be told what to do and a little misguded. Governments do need to be kept in check though.
Actually they've long been a proponent of anti capitalism and the removal of private ownership over the means of production. The stuff you're talking about is a late 20th century foible by some strange US anarcho capitalists which basically reversed the meaning of the term
Yeah, nah.
It's fairly easy to avoid being scammed in crypto- fraudulent credit card transactions are a much bigger problem for me. Never used crypto to buy drugs either. I've only ever purchased legally available items and services with crypto and tried selling a car once in bitcoin.
It's primarily an investment tool, though I'd be happy for it to be classed as gambling (as many uninformed people call it) so I don't have to pay tax on 'gambling wins'.
Do you know what else is used for scamming and buying drugs? AUD.
