We believe in a better future based on:
- Individual freedom
- Individual responsibility
- Individual rights
- Material and social progress
- Civil society before government
We believe that government should be:
- The scaffold which supports this future
- As small and efficient as possible
We believe in Enlightenment values:
- Facts matter
- There is right and wrong
- Knowledge and understanding of our culture is the birthright of all Australians
- Truths that aren’t challenged can’t be relied upon
We acknowledge that some people will fail and government has a role to:
- Support those who have no other means of support
- Only to the extent that they are genuinely unable to support themselves
- Ensure their opportunity and motivation to rejoin society is as large as possible
We will research and advocate positions which support these beliefs. Support us by becoming a member and receive discounted access to functions and free publications of the institute.
