Or the money being given to universities to help them offset the massive loss in revenue from foreign students. I also assume you’ll hand back any job keeper subsidy you (or your company) is receiving because sure as hell having the government chip in $3k a month per employee isn’t a free market either.
No Colonel. Not my belief, but what the Liberal Party is built around. Hence why people comment "its obvious the Labor Party would have bought out Virgin wheres the Liberal Party isn't going to"
The free market means minimum intervention by the government. Despite the narrowing of the difference, LNP and ALP still do differ here slightly. It doesn't mean no intervention. So hence why the government's current intervention strategies have been what they've been. e.g. the $715m package.
