The Australian Libertarian Society (ALS) was founded by John Humphreys in January 2000, and is an organisation dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, free markets and small government.

Since 2000 the ALS has been involved in many activities over the years, including media campaigns, publishing discussion papers, producing a newsletter (2000-2002), hosting regular dinners around Australia and helping to bring together an online libertarian community. ALS associates have been involved in counter-protests (receiving national media coverage), the Celebrate Capitalism campaign, interviews with JJJ and the ISIL, political campaigns and various policy debates.

In January 2003, on its three year anniversary, the ALS moved to its new home at www.libertarian.org.au and started a blog with continuous commentary on current affairs, public policy and libertarian issues. In 2006 the ALS blog merged with the ‘Thoughts on Freedom’ blog to create a new official ALS blog.
