	"Beyond Ideology" - A Speech by Tony Abbott on Liberal Party Philosophy [January 6, 2001]
		The essential principle animating the Federation Fathers (whether conservative protectionists or liberal free traders, they mostly ended up in the first version of an Australian liberal party within a decade) was citizens’ greater freedom to pursue their individual destinies within the framework of a new nation.
		An issue to ponder during the Centenary year is Australians’ long-standing reluctance to support equality of outcomes ahead of an ideal of equal opportunity and whether Labor’s passion for levelling down was a peculiar by-product of the era of robber baron capitalism.
		Australian voters are no more inclined than others to believe that “what’s good for General Motors is good for America” which is why politicians go to such lengths to demonstrate that sectoral policies are good for everyone in the long term and really a way to secure the national interest.

	Australian Liberal Party Condemns Iraq Church Bombings, Calls for Safe Haven for Christians
		The Young Liberal Movement of NSW is the most influential youth political organisation in Australia, and is the youth wing of the centre-right conservative Australian Liberal Party, led by the current Prime Minister of Australia, The Hon.
		The Liberal Party of Australia, NSW Division condemn the hideous and unjustifiable attacks on the Assyrian and Armenian Christian churches in Baghdad and Mosul that killed 15 worshipers and injured another 65.

	Australian House of Representatives moves to affirm support for heterosexual marriage - Wikinews
		The Australian House of Representatives yesterday discussed as part of private Member's business a motion moved by Michael Johnson (Australian Liberal Party, Division of Ryan) that sought to affirm and "celebrate" support for marriage "between a man and a woman" and called on the Government to "enact policies that promote and strengthen marriage".
		Johnson discussed the earlier amendment to the Australian Marriage Act passed in 2004 that effectively removed the possibility for same-sex marriage, and continued that the failed efforts of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) to provide for civil unions within that state was a matter for "grave alarm".
		Margaret May (Liberal, Division of McPherson), the seconder of the motion, recommenced arguing against same-sex marriage, calling it a "social experiment", and went on to state, "Same sex relationships, or, indeed, unions should not have the same status as a marriage between a man and a woman".

	Australian prime minister under siege
		Australian Liberal Party prime minister John Howard is under siege from leading sections of the media and financial elite over his attempts to shore up his government's flagging electoral support with rural and regional voters.
		The hostility of rural voters at the Liberal/National parties is matched in the working class suburbs of the major cities by opposition to the Labor Party and the trade unions.
		Liberal state premier Jeff Kennett, a prominent advocate of big business interests, privatisation and the slashing of public expenditure, was swept from office in a huge swing against his government, particularly in regional areas.

		The citizens of the Australian Commonwealth are held in "sovereign suspension" between their historical roots and their present-day sociopolitical circumstances, unable to give true allegiance to a common national identity, and therefore seemingly ill-prepared to adequately define Australia's role within the international system.
		The Australian Liberal Party believes that the relationship between Australia and the United Kingdom is extremely important to the economic and social well-being of both nations.
		The leader of the Liberal Party, Prime Minister John Howard, unashamedly defends the retention of the monarchy and the preservation of Australia's position within the British Commonwealth.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Australian Labor Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Like other social democratic parties, Labor tends to believe that government is generally a positive force in the community and that it is the responsibility of governments to intervene in the operation of the economy (and society in general) to improve outcomes.
		Indeed, during the 1980s the party was responsible for the introduction of many economic policies such as privatisation of government enterprises (such as the Commonwealth Bank, which was itself established by an earlier Labor government), and deregulation of many previously tightly-controlled industries, which are normally the province of conservative governments.
		The DLP helped the Liberal Party of Australia remain in power for almost two decades but was successfully undermined by the Whitlam Labor Government during the 1970s and ceased to exist as a parliamentary party after the 1974 election.

	Canada's governing party faces disaster as nation swings right - World
		Prime Minister Paul Martin's centrist Liberal Party is often referred to as Canada's natural governing party because it has run the country for 61 of the past 75 years.
		At 46, Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper is the youngest of the leaders of the main parties.
		The party has no natural allies, so a minority government would be weak, although some analysts say it is possible they could win a majority of seats.

	[No title]
		As I’ve argued before, there are at least three different layers to the right liberal parties.
		Liberal individualism is based on the idea of an atomised, autonomous individual who is free to create himself in any direction.
		Finally there are right liberals who try to add an element of conservatism to the previous core layers of liberalism.

		This is the official text of the speech delivered by John Howard to the South Australian Liberal Party.
		And it remains the case now that he or she that argues for a reduction or a removal of the goods and services tax in reality is arguing for higher levels of income tax.
		It has always been a sacred principle of the Liberal Party since the introduction of direct assistance to independent schools in the 1960s by Sir Robert Menzies that Australian parents should have the right to choose the school which educates their children.

	Senator threatens to defect if axed \| The Nation \| The Australian
		JOHN Howard wants the West Australian Liberal Party to delay its Senate preselection process following a warning by controversial Liberal senator Ross Lightfoot that he could defect and serve out his term as an independent if he were dumped.
		But The Australian understands the Prime Minister has made it clear to the state branch it should hold off the Senate preselections for as long as possible to delay any move by Senator Lightfoot to the crossbenches.
		Senator Lightfoot said if his expected preselection challenger, state Liberal Party senior vice-president Mathias Corman, were to get the third place on the Senate ticket instead of him, the Liberals could lose the seat toLabor.

	Tony Abbott on Pauline Hanson [July 2, 1998]
		Members may be interested to know that the Australian Electoral Commission said it cannot actually provide a copy of One Nation's constitution and suggested that I approach a person described as One Nation's constitutional officer.
		So I ask the Australian Electoral Commission to reconsider whether, given the complete lack of democracy inside One Nation, given the complete lack of membership in any meaningful form, One Nation is indeed a validly registered party.
		He said two party members to whom he had spoken made donations of $5,000 and $7,000 but were not given receipts.

	Australian Labor - a renovator's delight - On Line Opinion - 5/8/2005
		If it does not, the Liberal Party’s claim that it is the preferred party of the working class may become true.
		Increasingly the party is divided between those who have succumbed to economic rationalism and those who hanker for the return of the welfare state.
		But while parties can give different things to different groups, they cannot give contradictory things to those groups To hold a coalition together despite its internal differences, its members must agree on something that is at least as important as the matters about which they disagree.

	PWHCE: Discord in the Australian Democrats
		The conflicting emotions that were aroused during the ALP Whitlam Government's tenure (1972 -1975), the role that the Senate played in deferring supply and the controversial circumstances surrounding the government's downfall were crucial determinants which contributed to the Australian Democrats later emergence in 1977.
		The Australian Democrats' policies were socially liberal and in keeping with the legacy of the defunct Australia Party; the only real issue that distinguished the party from the political mainstream was its opposition to Australia's alliance with the United States and its advocacy of a ban on uranium mining.
		During her tenure as Australian Democrats leader Haines (1986 to 1990) gave a lot of leeway to individual Australian Democrat Senators to the point that she seemed to be a figurehead.

	Liberal Party
		John Valder, a prominent member of Australia's conservative Liberal Party, called America a war criminal and the liberation of Iraq "the greatest act of aggression by any Western nation since the days of Hitler's Germany", neatly putting Bush, Blair and Howard on par with Adolf Hitler.
		It's true that soldiers are dying but Valder, and his few Liberal Party supporters, ignores several vital facts: to begin with, they are dying in defence of liberty, something that will never by said of Valder and his media friends.
		Liberating 23 million people from a murderous despot is now a crime, or so says the humanitarian Mr Valder, on par with "the greatest act of aggression by any Western nation since the days of Hitler's Germany".

	Australian Women's National League - Australian Women Corporate entry
		The Australian Women’s National League (AWNL) was a conservative women’s organisation established in 1904 to support the monarchy and empire, to combat socialism, educate women in politics and safeguard the interests of the home, women and children.
		Closely associated with the United Australia Party, the financial and organisational support of the League was a key factor in the foundation of the Australian Liberal Party in 1944.
		In return for the support of their membership and considerable financial backing, the AWNL obtained two key undertakings from Robert Menzies: there was to be equal gender representation throughout the Liberal Party, and that the AWNL be permitted to continue within the new party's structure, as the Women's Section.

	LaRouche's CEC a Key Factor In Australian Election
		Though the party is variously fled out or libelled by the Rupert Murdoch-dominated major media, its breadth of candidates for both the House and Senate across Australia's six states and two territories make it the fourth-largest party in the country, outside of the Coalition, the ALP, and the Green Party.
		In 1954, Australian Liberal Party Prime Minister Robert Menzies, and John Howard's hero, was expected to lose the Federal election to the pro-national-banking ALP.
		Amidst an ensuing Royal Commission investigating Soviet espionage, a media "Red scare," and Liberal Party charges that his ALP opponent "Doc" Evatt was a Communist sympathizer, the "tough-on-Reds" Menzies was re-elected by a whisker, even though he lost the popular vote.

		ALP federal opposition leader Kim Beazley wanted to go further and have all the states to adopt what already exist in NSW where the Police Commissioner has the power to order a lock-down of whole suburbs where there is a suspected "terrorist".
		As civil rights lawyers and activists have pointed out, the major parties have signed onto measures to overturn the presumption of innocence and the right to privacy and which are a direct attack on our political freedoms.
		It is clear that the new powers are already being mostly used against Muslim Australians, thereby breaching the principle of equality before the law.

	Australian Labor Party: South Australian Liberals Beg For Union Donations
		It seems that the South Australian Branch of the Liberal Party, with such distinguished Cabinet colleagues of Mr Andrews as Foreign Minister Downer, Government Leader in the Senate and Finance Minister Minchin and Immigration Minister Vanstone, does not have the same view as Minister Andrews on unions and the labour movement.
		The South Australian Liberal Party has asked the State division of the Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) for a donation in the in the run up to the South Australian State election on Saturday, 18 March.
		When Kevin Andrews lectures the Parliament about donations to the Australian Labor Party by trade unions he should be honest about his colleagues being happy to receive donations from the very same source.

	Political demographics re-aligned - On Line Opinion - 15/5/2002
		In the case of the Liberal Party, it needs to examine itself in the context of the faintly emerging fissure in its supporter base, that may one day tear it apart.
		The Liberal Party, like Labor, operates in a practical sense on a model of society that existed in the 1950s: local branches that meet at 8 o’clock in the evening with an agenda that consists of reviewing expenditure on mail-outs, and where policy debate is actively discouraged beyond moving motions that support your party's position.
		At the Party’s recent Federal Council, policy debate could have been mistaken for some slapstick comedy sketch, where everyone fell over themselves in a desperate attempt to be the first to agree with each other.

		The Prize is based on a bequest given to the History Department of the University of Melbourne by Mrs Emily Scott in memory of her husband, Sir Ernest Scott, who held a professorship in the department for 23 years.
		In awarding the prize, the judges said that although path-breaking is an overused and much abused phrase, Dr Brett’s study of the Australian Liberal Party and its complex relationship with an evolving middle class was innovative in the best sense of the word.
		The judges said that in a year when there were many outstanding books to chose from, “Australian Liberals and the Moral Middle Class” stood out as an exemplary instance of Australian scholars being at the cutting edge of the discipline of history, genuinely opening up new avenues for future enquiry.
