I can't trust them enough to even form friendships with or work in their jobs :( I get along with a neighbour pretty well who's a pretty accepting boomer, but I have no one else in real life aside from him and a support worker I can only occasionally see..

Despite getting along with them well, I still wish I knew more people in real life but most things about me are obviously so radical here which makes connecting with others while hiding my radical side so hard when there'd be little left of my true self to talk about if they're curious about me.

We somewhat have free speech, but I still don't feel safe with talking to almost anyone here (even family somewhat) because of how they could treat me if they know my radical side.. Although I can talk to them if its a brief casual conversation, but I'd start to get nervous if its too long. I don't even want to work for anyone local because they're all so compliant with our authoritarianism which makes me not trust them, that even includes my step-dad who I still have a job with but rarely do since I dislike its beaucratic atmosphere :/

As an American, I'm curious how Australian libertarians feel about America, more specifically libertarians here in the states. I'm just curious because I've been looking at libertarian sub-reddits around the world like in Brazil and what not. :-)

NSW gov too demand anti slip mats in bathtubs and showers.

Well I sure was but mainly because I work in a lefty echo chamber. For most of the campaign the polls kept telling us that Labor would get in easily. My colleagues were saying the same thing. I didn’t care obviously cause I reject both major parties.

This last 12 months in particular have highlighted perfectly to ever man, woman and child in this country exactly what is wrong with our two party system, a strong centralised Government, and a big government trying to get a finger in every pie of this country and poisoning them all.

400 Million taxpayer dollars given to a "Charity" that does nothing in virtual secret,

The Data encryption laws that give the Government unprecedented access to our private information

Another 400 odd Million to a company to Guard Nauru, that nobody has ever heard of, That and the fact we are pissing millions down the drain running an Offshore Detention Program at all.

We have had lock downs shutting down the liqour and entertainment industry of our biggest city, While Billions of Tax Dollars tearing up it roads to deliver an unwanted, over budget, behind scheduled light rail service driving more Businesses out.

Another round of Crippling financial reforms on the way, and a 50 Billion Dollar Defence Procurement deal, that could be delivered faster and cheaper if we werent desperate to win a few SA Marginal Seats.

This is by supposed "Small Government, Low Taxing" Liberal Party

I guess the point of my rant is, why the hell arent we out there getting more angry about it.

We are seeing big Government at its worst and we are barely making a peep. What is going to take for us Classic Liberal/Libertarians to get mad and start making some noise
