Welcome to the Libertarian Party

Less Taxes. More Freedom.


We are the Libertarian Party (formerly Liberal Democrats) of New South Wales. If you're sick to death of being over-worked only to then be over-taxed by a corrupt government that squanders away your hard-earned money, then you may be a Libertarian.

Libertarians want less taxes and more freedom. We believe you are the best person to make decisions for your own life, not politicians or bureaucrats. The government is not your parent. You should be free to live your life the way you choose and accept responsibility for the outcomes of your choices, as long as you're not harming anyone else. But we also understand that the biggest enemy of your freedom is a government that is too big and takes too much.

Don't be taken for granted. The major parties know that most Australians will continue to vote for them even when they know they are the source of the problem. If you want things to be different you must vote different. Australia has a preferential voting system, so a vote for us is never a wasted vote. We have been fighting for over 20 years to keep the government out of your pockets, out of your families, and out of your lives.

If you want to live in an Australia where you have the freedom to live your life the way you choose, to enjoy the fruit of your labour, and have more time to spend with your family and friends - Vote 1 Libertarian.

Doug Rennie is driven by a strong desire to advance a small-government approach to the most pressing social and economic priorities of our time: housing, infrastructure, energy, environment, water, food security and health. In particular, he advocates for a more sensible energy policy that prevents a focus on “Net Zero” from destroying nature and jobs. He also believes passionately in individual liberty of choice, supported by a free market, small government, and freedom of speech.

Local Council Elections 2024

Take a chainsaw to woke agendas, smart cities, and council rates.



The woke agenda has infected our local councils. Councils should be focussed on basic community services, such as roads, parks, and rubbish. But instead, they are fixated on conceptual ‘woke’ rubbish: climate alarmism, the doomed YES campaign, transgender ideology, drag queen story time, pride month, banning Australia Day, Middle Eastern politics, etc. All this folly results in ever-increasing rates and basic council services being neglected.

The NSW local council elections will be held on Saturday, 14th September 2024. There are 128 local councils with 256 wards in NSW and we will be actively contesting these council elections.
