"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Kerry Packer's Political Philosophy
"A http://economics.org.au/ Production — Highlights of Kerry Packer's 1991 House of Reps Select Committee on Print Media Appearance. He shows that he is not only opposed to government intevention that disadvantages him. It also includes perhaps the most famous Australian anti-government quote, where Packer says that anyone who pays more tax than they can get away with needs their head examined. For more radical and principled politics from other great Australians, like John Singleton, Lang Hancock and Neville Kennard, subscribe to http://economics.org.au/ and likehttp://facebook.com/economics.org.au."
