This nondescript author, voted into his job by default on .7% of the primary vote, fancies himself as an intellectual.

I read your link and am not even slightly sirprised. Aboriginals and their insignificant issues, are being "used" to lead the charge here in Australia, to rewrite the constitution.
This is a reality only dreamt of by Corporate elites in the US.
Nonexistent Aboriginal issues and Multiculturalism are sufficient distractions, enabled by corporate media, as a smokescreen to the corporate intent of theieving our freedoms from under our very noses.

Our corporate puppet here, has identified himself on numerous occasions, in his complicity to destroy Democracy, assisting ever growing corporate profit.

«When you look at nations that slash government red tape, protect private property rights and safeguard civil liberties, you see societies where opportunity abounds, people escape from poverty, and civil society flourishes.»

Perhaps so, let the experts debate it, but is this WHY you do it?

One should abstain from doing evil (such as imposing red tape, taking other people's property and denying others their liberty) for the sake of avoiding evil, rather than for what could be gained.

It is important to remember that liberty is for everyone, not only for the rich. So long as the Libertarian movement concentrates too much on the freedom to gain wealth, it will necessarily remain small.

Libertarianism as espoused by David Leyonhjelm is fundamentally inconsistent with democracy. In a democracy actions are taken because they are for the good of society as a whole and supported by the majority of society, not because they are for the good of the rich.

So true democracies have social welfare, public education and progressive taxation policies to provide opportunity for all and not just for those who have the financial means.

Oligarchies on the other hand provide the best opportunity for those who have it to keep more of their stuff and be left the hell alone. Perhaps David Leyonhjelm might be happier in Vlad Putin's Russia or Saudi Arabia.
