Political Advocacy

 
 

Director, Australian Institute for Progress

We believe in a better future based on:

  • Individual freedom

  • Individual responsibility

  • Individual rights

  • Material and social progress

  • Civil society before government

We believe that government should be:

  • The scaffold which supports this future

  • As small and efficient as possible

We believe in Enlightenment values:

  • Facts matter

  • There is right and wrong

  • Knowledge and understanding of our culture is the birthright of all Australians

  • Truths that aren’t challenged can’t be relied upon

We acknowledge that some people will fail and government has a role to:

  • Support those who have no other means of support

  • Only to the extent that they are genuinely unable to support themselves

  • Ensure their opportunity and motivation to rejoin society is as large as possible
