On Liberty: I care about liberty because I believe people, regardless of their traits, deserve the freedom to do as they wish their body, say what they like, and pay for things they want. Greater government intervention into our lives has created more wars, more slavery and more genocide. To me, the philosophy of liberty is one of love. There is great hypocrisy in letting the government dictate how to love your fellow humans, when they have been the biggest killers, thieves and slave masters throughout history.
It must be noted that without the government taking responsibility for how you live your life, a greater emphasis on personal responsibility is necessary. A society where people care about what happens around them is a society I want to live in.
On SFL: SFL gives me the opportunity to spread the ideas of liberty to fellow young Australians and give an alternative perspective of many of the social wrongs that occur today. I think many of us have our heart in the right place, but we simply need to learn how to solve issues without the bondage of government. SFL has given me access to resources that allow me to communicate these ideals much better than I could have alone. I don’t expect to turn others into full-fledged libertarians through what I do; I simply want to emphasise the good that mankind can do through philanthropy and the free ventures of private individuals.

On Liberty: For me liberty is the natural desire of every single individual on earth. Everyone, regardless their skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, or any other background and identity, deserves to enjoy liberty to make decisions for themselves, to be free from aggression, and the freedom to control their own lives. No one, whoever they are, want to live under slavery & persecution, whether it's by their own relatives, by the society, or by the government. And that's what we should always fight for, whether for ourselves as well as for any human being on the planet.
On SFL: Joining SFL is one of the greatest decisions that I made in my life. Through SFL, I've met & befriends with many young freedom fighter, not only from Indonesia, but also from many countries around the world. From them, I learned so many things about the idea of liberty and how to promote it to the young generations in order to build a freer world in the future.
