Taxing wealth makes a country less wealthy.

Fortunately the Libertarian Party has NEVER voted for a tax increase and we will always oppose taxes on wealth.

Check out this analysis on two different investments.
One Dad invests in property, the other in a new business.

Start up business owners are being punished with a 47% tax while the property investor pays 32% tax.

This discourages business and investment and leads to an economically crippled future.

The solution? Reduce taxation for both of them!
A flat 20% on real profits seems like more than enough. If the government can't keep it's spending under control, then they don't deserve to be trusted with any more than that, surely.

What would you raise the tax free threshold too?

Our current policy is - Every dollar before $50,000 is tax free, every dollar after is a flat 20%

But with inflation at 4.6% maybe we should raise that number and index it?

The tax-free threshold in Australia is $18,200. It hasn't moved since 2012.

In that time, the cost of living has gone up every single year. Wages have gone up to try to keep pace but that gets eaten up with the rise in everything.

The point at which the government starts taking tax from your income hasn't shifted once. Not under Labor, not under the Coalition.

That means more of your income is taxable now than it was fourteen years ago, even though your money doesn't go any further. In Canberra, where the cost of living is among the highest in the country, that gap between what you earn and what you keep is felt every week.

The 2026 budget was a chance to move it. They didn't.

We think the government should have to justify taking more from you, not just let it happen by doing nothing.

What do you think?

What is the difference between a common thief and the government?
The government robs you everyday.

The government injected citizens with plutonium 238.

This is why Libertarians are sceptical of concentrated government power.

In 1945, the U.S. government secretly injected Albert Stevens with plutonium without his knowledge or consent. He was one of at least 18 people used in covert radiation experiments conducted by the state. One of the victims was just 4 years old.

These people were never informed. Never asked. Never given a choice.
The government violated the most basic principle of morality and medicine: informed consent.

It took innocent citizens, many of them poor, sick, or vulnerable, and turned them into experimental guinea pigs for the state.

Then it covered it up for decades, because governments only hide things they know the public would never approve of.

The purpose of government is to protect the life, liberty, and rights of its citizens. The moment a government begins secretly experimenting on its own people, lying to them, and concealing its crimes, it has crossed the bright line between protector and predator.

This is why transparency matters. Government is not a master. It is a representative of the people and a servant to the people. Almost nothing it does should be secret from the citizens who fund it, employ it, and live under its power.

Except for genuinely sensitive active military operations, government transparency should be the default.

Power must be watched. Questioned. Examined constantly.
People do not distrust government nearly enough.

Australians are taxed on their income.
Taxed when they spend.
Taxed on fuel.
Taxed on investments.
Taxed on businesses employing workers.
Taxed through inflation.
Taxed through council rates, registrations, permits and fees.

And despite all of this… government debt still explodes upward.

So serious question:
If THIS level of taxation is not enough to fund society… what is?

At what point does the government finally say:
“Okay, that’s enough. We can operate within these limits.”

Because the pattern is obvious now.
Revenue goes up.
Spending goes up faster.
Then politicians come back demanding even more.

That means the problem is not a lack of taxation.
The problem is the size, scope and wastefulness of government itself.

Libertarians believe government should consume a small fraction of national productivity, not dominate it.

Frankly, even 10% of GDP would be generous.
Because every dollar absorbed by government is a dollar no longer:
* invested
* saved
* donated
* expanded into a business
* used to hire workers
* or spent by the person who actually earned it.

At some point society has to ask:
Are we funding essential services…

…or are we feeding an economic machine that can never stop growing?

A woman is an adult human female.

That was true yesterday. It is true today. And no court ruling can change biological reality.

This decision is not just an attack on language and basic facts, it is an attack on women themselves. Women deserve the right to their own spaces, their own sports, their own protections, and the ability to describe reality without fear of legal punishment.

When a society reaches the point where stating an observable biological fact becomes “discrimination,” it is no longer defending tolerance. It is enforcing ideology.

Sal Grover stood her ground while governments, activists, corporations, and now the courts attempted to force compliance with a belief system that denies objective reality.

We stand with Sal Grover.

We will continue to stand for logic, reason, biological truth, and the rights of women no matter how politically unfashionable that becomes.

Your home is your Castle!

If someone breaks into your home, do you have a duty to retreat?
No!
You have a duty to defend yourself and your family.

The Libertarian Party will always vote in favor of Castle Law and the right to defend yourself.
