That site's been like that for months.
I'm a Sydneysider myself. I'm not optimistic about Australia's future.
tacoface: That site's been like that for months.
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? :-)
Nope, I've got one more year of my law degree. After that I'm doing an honours year in political science.
