What do you get when you cross a libertarian and a Fabian socialist?

So what do you get when you cross a libertarian and a Fabian socialist?  Turns out you get a chap who is equally sceptical of both the state and corporate welfare; of the the short-comings of central control by government -- “about the exercise of ministerial power over ordinary people by often heavy-handed government departments” – and of “business indifference to [people’s] needs.” (Well, I did say he’s a socialist, didn’t I.)

“A dose of libertarianism would enhance our democracy” he says in today’s Australian newspaper.
