Property rights
Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (10:47): There are many laws that libertarians do not like; however, property rights most certainly do not belong in this category. Indeed according to the philosophy of liberalism, property rights are human rights and vice versa. Let me explain. The first form of property that all humans are endowed with is their own body. It is generally accepted that people own their own body and can use it as they see fit as long as they do not harm others. According to Lockean principles, when we use this property that is our body to conduct work through labour we are entitled to the just transactions resulting from that.
There have been recent violations of property rights by activists. Some of the people who committed these crimes were charged and given token fines. I believe these punishments were far outside community expectations. One of the prime reasons government exists is to enforce property rights. The Liberal Democrats strongly support the right of people to speak freely and to protest, but we draw the line when activists infringe on the rights of others.
