Strongly agree

No

The Liberal Party has historically supported strong law enforcement and has not advocated for reducing police funding. For example, in 2019, the New South Wales Liberal government announced a $583 million investment in police resources and infrastructure. This indicates that they would likely disagree with redirecting funding away from police departments.

Agree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

The Liberal Party has shown support for increasing funding and resources for police departments, especially in higher crime rate communities. For example, the aforementioned $583 million investment in New South Wales police resources demonstrates their commitment to law enforcement. However, their focus may not always be on increasing funding specifically for training.

Disagree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

While the Australian Liberal Party has not explicitly opposed the idea of unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls, their general support for law enforcement and lack of advocacy for such a policy suggests that they would likely disagree with this proposal. However, they may be open to considering it as part of a broader policy package or in specific situations.
