When David Limbrick delivered his first speech in 2019, he brought good news and bad news:

 

“For those Victorians who feel over-taxed, over-regulated and are generally just over the way that government interferes with their lives, I bring great news – the libertarians have arrived.

 

“But for those of you who feel entitled to other people’s money, or who like to meddle in private lives, impose taxes, police thoughts, censor others, or who could be described as nanny statists, champagne socialists, rent seeking fat cats, moral guardians, human red-tape dispensers, or any other variety of authoritarian, I have terrible news - the libertarians have arrived.”

He had no way of knowing at this time that the Victorian Government’s authoritarian response to the pandemic would cause suffering on a massive scale, but David backed up every word through his actions ever since.

 

He was a rare voice for sanity – for people forced out of work, for kids locked out of school and for all Victorians whose human and democratic rights were trashed.

 

During the darkest days of the lockdowns, David was arrested at a protest and later temporarily expelled from parliament for standing up for human rights.

 

David stood up when it counted then, as he stands up every time he sees legislation that impinges on the freedom of Victorians.
