I am hoping Lucky will see this and give us some more info, since it is launching in Perth.
SO much wrong with the tactics. Skipping the ideas part and going straight to politics.

    A tragedy of our times-
    To be in favor of freedom of speech, equal rights for women and such, gets you labeled as 'far right'.
    If you want to keep out those who want to chop off your head you are called a 'racist'.

    More bad news- kh is reading the notorious state news org 'abc.net.au'.
    For those who prefer private sector news go to:

    If you see pics of anyone attending wearing an Atlas Shrugged hat, could be me.

    kh' question

    Well it is a political party not a philosophy club. Do not expect a match with Objectivism, libertarianism, or Rand Paul, more towards Carson or Rubio.

      The problem here is are we talking at a political philosophical level or an ethical philosophical level. On an ethical philosophical level I will condemn Islam and this is consistent with objectivism, although I would argue environmentalism is much more dangerous. On a political philosophical level a proper government cannot exclude a person or take action against a person unless that person has initiated force against someone (note freedom of speech at this level applies)

        In this case, neither, this is a political party with pragmatic practical ends (your opinion noted). Yes, it has the usual mix of contradictions and popularism as kh observed.
        2. Agree. Agree, worth noting that green and red movements support Islamism, but the Islamists do not, or do need to reciprocate.
        3. Proper governments and the use of force - neither from philosophical or practical levels can people or governments who abide by this proposition survive. Example- an armed force approaches you, the front row of the attackers shoot, do you forbid firing at the second row?
        Side comment - there is a war on, Sydney had an attack last week, a jihadi shot and killed police accountant Curtis Cheng. Australia's Grand Mufti refused to label Friday’s fatal shooting at police headquarters a terrorist attack and blamed social media for teaching young Muslims extremist views. There is support for this view from the green left and 'our' ABCnet.au.
