| Message | The Liberal Party might vote in favour of one bad item among a bunch of proposals that we like. We don't like a good half of this package. In addition, we find the generalisation of subject matter makes it difficult to develop a concrete policy position. We must therefore regrettably reject its finer points along with the dross that surrounds it. |
