Liberal Party (Australia)

The Liberal Party of Australia is a major center-right political party that generally advocates for free-market economic policies, individual responsibility, and limited government intervention. Founded in 1944, it traditionally represents business interests, supports lower taxes, and emphasizes national security and a strong defense. The party often collaborates with the National Party, especially in rural areas, forming the Liberal-National Coalition, which has been a dominant force in Australian politics. While it appeals to conservative voters, it also promotes pragmatic policies based on economic growth, stability, and maintaining Australia's global competitiveness.
