The Liberals Have 170 Secret Policies

(Note: this article currently appears out of order and with one paragraph missing because I mistakenly saved a draft over it. The on-the-day coverage thread is below)

Yesterday I gave Labor and the Greens a serve for trying to take the moral high ground on campaign donations when their "attempt" to reform them in the previous parliament had been a token, late, poorly considered politicised flop.  Today - which happens to be election day, ho ho - it's the Liberal Party's turn.

On one of the strangest final days of a campaign that I can recall, the Liberals were forced into damage control after it became known that they had a policy of relaxing various gun laws.  However, rather than release this policy for public discussion, it had been provided to a firearms consultations group on 9 February.  The letter surfaced only on the final day of the campaign, after being posted on a shooting website.
