The LDP believes the ownership of property is a fundamental right that
precedes the power of government.
Widespread private ownership of property is also a signficantly
preferable
alternative to either collective ownership or ownership by a
privileged
elite.

The LDP supports the right of 'eminent domain' of property owners over
their
property. It believes neither the State nor other members of society
should
be able to limit or interfere with the right to enjoy property so long
as
such enjoyment does not involve coercion of others.

Specific LPD policies:

The LDP supports the right of landlords and tenants to freely
negotiate
the
terms of tenancies, free from state rules and restrictions.

Sinister, i agree with you on this point, but to generalize from one
point to claim that one group of people are "freedom-hating" is spurios
and unecessary poliemical.

I'm implicitly making a _statistical_ generalization, which I claim
stands.

That doesn't detract from my admiration (if not complete agreement with)
geolibertarians and Georgists and yourself (I assume you essentially fall
into those camps).

Thank you*. However, back to the point: Does the LDP of Australia
mention anything about land value taxation?

Not on that page, but I think a reasonable inference given what they wrote
in the linked text would imply they're against LVT. Certainly, they appear
to have no understanding that there's no natural right to use landed
property in any way the "owner" sees fit, given that the owner cannot
naturally, rightfully exclude others from the property.


*) Since I am in favor of a morderate to large LVT, I think that I fall
into the G-ist camp.
