Why the ALA Gets My Vote, by Peter Smith. The Australian Liberty Alliance (ALA) is a new party in Australia.

I’ve concluded after much thought that a party does not need to tick every box to be supported, just the important ones. As there is only one prepared to state that Islam is antithetical to Western democracy and values, the choice is not difficult. …

As a registered attendee, I was informed of the venue only the evening before and security on the night was tight. … This is Australia in 2016, when standing for a political party might put you under physical threat. Imagine Australia in 2026 and then in 2036 if we all sit back and do nothing.
