ELI5: Liberal Party of Australia Policy for September 2013 election

• No action on climate change.
• Privatising as many government services as possible.
• Removing measures designed to give us balanced media coverage, as well as breaking up the ABC and tendering out its processes and privatising SBS.
• Cutting funding for as many government services as possible.
• Removing regulation that gives us things like workers’ rights and parental leave payments.
• No support for the arts.
• No protection for local industries.
• A preference for private education as opposed to the public system.
• Increasing the influence of political donations by removing disclosure requirements, removing political blackout periods and removing public funding for political parties, exacerbated by an introduction of voluntary voting.
