Agree

No, and ban digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies

While the Liberal Party is not typically in favor of outright bans, they have supported legislation that increases government access to encrypted communications (e.g., the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018). This suggests they would be sympathetic to requiring backdoor access for government agencies, though a total ban on non-compliant wallets might be seen as too extreme for their pro-business stance.

Agree

Yes

The Liberal Party of Australia generally supports individual economic freedoms and innovation in financial technology, as seen in their relatively open stance towards fintech and digital assets. However, they also emphasize the importance of regulatory oversight to prevent crime and ensure national security. Allowing self-hosted wallets with government monitoring aligns with their balance between personal freedom and regulatory oversight, though they may push for more robust monitoring powers.

Disagree

No

The Liberal Party is unlikely to support a blanket ban on self-hosted digital wallets, as this would be seen as anti-innovation and anti-business. Their approach to digital assets has typically been to regulate rather than prohibit, as reflected in their support for the development of a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies rather than outright bans.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and also allowed to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions

The Liberal Party would strongly disagree with allowing privacy layers that prevent government monitoring, as this would undermine their stated priorities of combating money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. Their legislative history, such as support for the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act, demonstrates a preference for maintaining some level of government oversight.
