If you're Australian, come here

That site’s been like that for months.

I’m a Sydneysider myself. I’m not optimistic about Australia’s future.

It has been on the surface, but underneath we have just finished testing the site. There are several things that need to be addressed before we can launch.

The list was given to the coders today. The system is custom made, that is why it has taken quite awhile.

LewRockwell.com took a year before it was up. And I believe Mises.org was similar, if not longer.

Patience. [:)]

Hi All, Justin Jefferson here, I live near Cooma, great to see a focus for Aussie Austrians.

Congratulations to those working on the Liberty Australia site. I have been following with interest and look forward to the day it gets up.

Tacoface - I’m pretty optimistic. We’ve got a lot of new young Australians joining the movement thanks to Ron Paul. And many of them are very smart.

Justin - great to see you around again. I remember the days when you used to hang out at the Australian “Libertarian” Society blog.

Yes, I left there because of the aggressive hostility to me when I raised what I thought were perfectly straightforward propositions of liberty - shouldn’t go around killing and torturing people who are offering you no harm.

I think the GFC has shown that it’s not enough to think you are in favour of liberty, a la Milton Friedman, while still adhering to the tenets of central planning. That’s why Austrianism is so important. Reminds me of the story of Mises telling the Friedmanites at the Mont Pelerin Society “You are all socialists!”

Have you finished your law degree yet?

By the way, did anyone ever tell you you have a remarkable likeness to Murray Rothbard - especially for an Indian? :slight_smile:

Nope, I’ve got one more year of my law degree. After that I’m doing an honours year in political science.

To bump an old thread: I’m an Austrian living in Melbourne for Uni (as you know Sukrit), but previously lived on the Sunshine Coast in QLD.

Another Aussie here in Melbourne. About to start to embark on studies again by enrolling in a PhD. I will be hoping to incorporate some Austrian ideas but there sure is resistance! Equilibrium modeling or perish :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry to hi-jack- (i’m not Aussie- but I have some friends there and love Aussie people).

I had to reply that the US has a bill of rights - so that means something. Believe me - it means nothing. Politicians here laugh in your face, dems and Reps, when you mention the constitution.

we do have a great history of freedom and charity and voluntary exchange. but once the virus of socialism seeps into a people it spreads fast.

Cheers

Hi everyone, just a note to all Aussies that La.org.au has launched.

Nice site. I am a little sad we don’t have something like that in Canada (that I am aware of).

I’ll PM you so we don’t hijack this thread anymore.

So anyone up for an Austrian meet-up in Melbourne?

“So anyone up for an Austrian meet-up in Melbourne?”

You just missed a Mises Melbourne Dinner by a few weeks! Unlucky. (There has also been a Brisbane Mises Dinner meetup which was great). I’d encourage you to PM Sukrit, who is down in Melbourne and get in contact.
