What the Australian government would actually like to do is implement Chinese style censorship across the entire internet. Brutal attack on free speech. If only there was some kind of "Liberal Party" that could oppose this

I think largely conventional centre right economics are underrated and Labor in the long run will probably spend too much money. In order to mitigate this risk we need an Australian political party that stands in some way for the highly successful philosophy known as "Liberalism"

Felt obliged to make them over into a sort of rival adventuring party. You could easily turn them into PCs - run a game as island traders aboard the Alert exploring the Pacific

Lovecraft in The Call of Cthulhu racistly describes the Alert as being "manned by a queer and evil-looking crew of Kanakas and half-castes" - became interested in the question of who these guys actually were
