Small government has gone out of fashion, can we bring it back?

Why our current defence policy is marked by the same wishful thinking that characterised that fateful decade, and what we can learn from its greatest hero.

Can the party for aspiration also be the party for renters?

What would it look like for the Culture Wars to end?

We should change the tax system so that hard working families keep more of their earnings and the recipients of massive, tax-free windfalls contribute their fair share.

Censorship of social media is a dangerous threat to freedom of speech. There can be no central arbiter for what is true or harmful, and no government or corporation should attempt to play this role.

Why universal free childcare, done in the name of parental choice, is likely to have the opposite effect.

Why our obsession with benefit-cost ratios is crippling our ability to provide visionary leadership for Australia.

Instead of allowing the ABC to crowd out competition with its unfair advantage of being cost and ad free, we should allow all news media organisations to compete for taxpayer funding on equal footing.

When we get the incentives right, everybody wins. A NDIS driven towards efficiency, lower costs and higher quality of service is in the best interests of all Australians with disabilities.

When it comes to preselecting a candidate, let’s put character before charisma.

If we are to win back the votes of women and young people, we must reestablish ourselves as a genuine party of compassion.

A key objective for every government should be to keep unemployment as low as possible. The time to act is not during an economic crisis, but before one, i.e. now.

At a time of growing internal division and a declining primary vote, by looking to the founding fathers of Australian liberalism we can find a renewed sense of shared purpose and vision for the country.

The Liberal party can win back millennials, but we’re going to need to do away with some wrong assumptions about this generation.

Australia is the lucky country, but the mining boom was just that: good luck. The Liberal Party needs to have a vision for an Australia whose prosperity is undergirded not by what we dig up, but by what we know and what we make.

Teaching in Australia is suffering from a crisis of respect. As Liberals, we are in a unique position to make a difference because many of the problems are rooted in Labor ideology: the public school system is operated as a socialist enterprise and suffers from the same drawbacks that are common to all socialist enterprises.

Australia’s current foreign policy with respect to Asia is characterised by dangerously wishful thinking, and a lack of achievable and meaningful strategic objectives.
