Agree

No

The Liberal Party would likely agree with not allowing homeless individuals to sleep or encamp on public property, as they tend to prioritize public order and safety. For example, in 2017, the then-Liberal government in New South Wales passed the 'Public Spaces' legislation, which gave police the power to remove homeless people from public spaces in Sydney.

Their focus would likely be on addressing the issue through other means, such as providing support services and affordable housing options.

Yes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine

Although the Liberal Party has supported some social programs to address homelessness, they generally lean towards conservative policies and may not be in favor of creating more extensive social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine.
