Why we need a strong minor conservative political party
The LNP looks set to adopt of policy partially banning Islamic immigration.
It shows that minor conservative parties are very important – they create debate and provide space for conservatives inside the LNP to act.

In 52 days we’ll get the government we deserve because it will be the government we choose.
The budget: buying other people’s votes with your money
Over the next 12 months, Australians will pay more than $16 billion servicing Commonwealth debt.
And last night, the Turnbull government announced that it will increase that debt by almost $40 billion.
Malcolm Bligh Turnbull: A profile in treachery*
Malcolm Turnbull has cheered the Greens and the Labor Party. But conservative Australians are as unimpressed now as they were a month ago.
Stupid is as stupid does: the Australian Defence Force ordered to recruit Muslims
The Assistant Minister for Defence, Stuart Robert, has informed parliament that he’s ordered the Australian Defence Force to recruit more Muslims.
The truth is that the Liberals support abortion – just like Labor
The Liberal Party takes pro-life votes and then abuses them. The Liberal Party has consistently done nothing to address abortion laws in Australia.
