The Liberal Party (Australia)

The Liberal Party of Australia is a major center-right political party that advocates for free-market economic policies, individual responsibility, and limited government intervention. Founded in 1944, it often promotes policies supporting business, lower taxes, and national security. The party typically emphasizes traditional values and Australia’s democratic institutions. It frequently competes with the Australian Labor Party, which leans more toward social welfare and government intervention. The Liberal Party is part of the broader coalition called the Liberal-National Coalition, which governs Australia at the federal level and in some states.
