They aren't the liberal national party and its extremely confusing for the average punter.
Who the hell are they anyway? Agreed, they are not like the Don Chipp Australian Democrats that were a moderate party keeping the bastards honest.
Many of the current Liberal Democrats are more closely aligned with Perrotett and Scomo happy clapper types, but a harder religious focus than Scomo, some are anti-vax, anti-abortion, anti-lockdown, which they describe as pro-choice, etc., etc., it's all God's will and small government and personal choice and personal responsibility are all God's will. To them the elderly falling to COVID due to a freedom to refuse vector is God's will.
Our local Liberal Democrats are not like the US version, ours are more like the Fire Brigade in Fahrenheit 451, masquerading as one thing but working towards something completely different.

And Uncle Harry died of dysentery in a muddy hole to give us the privilidge of voting!?! Unfortunately a lot of the population today wouldnt know where that hole was or what Uncle Harry was doing there.
Unless you have family history passed on down the line there isnt much recognition of why we have the privledges and lifestyles we do.....modern society is too busy asking the big questions like what sex we are and how we can change it and get some time off to do it....

The Liberal Democrats are advocates of small government and people being free to do whatever they like. David Leyonhjelm was elected to the Senate a while back as an LD candidate.
Calling them lunatic fringe numpties is probably being a little too generous.

Libs out, ALP in imho but will they have enough seats to govern on their own or need the teals, greens and indies to form government.
A real mess perhaps in the making...

I'm seeing a swing against both major parties, and many greens and numpties on the rise, this will only encourage them, they can only disrupt they cannot govern. It could be hung in the wash up!
