	Liberal Party of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Commonwealth Liberal Party was a fusion of the non-Labor parties in 1909 in response to Labor's growing electoral prominence.
		Throughout their history, the Liberals have been the party of the middle class (whom Menzies, in the era of the party's formation called "the forgotten people"), though such class-based voting patterns are no longer as clear as they once were.
		The Liberal Party's organisation is dominated by the six state divisions, reflecting the party's original commitment to a federalised system of government (a commitment which was strongly maintained by all Liberal governments until 1983, but has been to a large extent abandoned by the Howard government, which has shown strong centralising tendencies).

	We are the Liberal Party - NOT the LibDems
		Liberals are the natural counter to Conservatism and the Liberal Party as we know it today was founded in 1877 to champion freedom of the individual, equality of opportunity and a moderate re-distribution of wealth by means of social and political reform.
		Some of these decided to re-establish the Liberal Party to continue the genuine Liberal political tradition to champion causes which New Labour and the Conservatives opposed and which were about to be forsaken by the Liberal Democrats in their frantic quest to join the political establishment.
		Those Liberals who refused to join the new hybrid party in 1988 felt at the time that the cause of liberalism would eventually lose out to social democracy in the new hybrid party, and so it proved as a change in the new party’s philosophy, constitution and organisation led to changes in policy.

	Liberal Party of Australia
		The current Liberal Party of Australia was founded on 31 August, 1945, after Robert Menzies called a conference in 1944 of conservative parties and other groups opposed to the ruling Australian Labor Party.
		The Liberal Party's organisation is dominated by the six state divisions, reflecting the party's commitment to a federalised system of government (perhaps their most strongly held policy and certainly one of the few that has remained since the party's creation).
		Party policy is made almost entirely by the parliamentary parties, not by the party's rank-and-file members.

		The Liberal Party was founded on 31 August, 1945, after Robert Menzies called a conference in 1944 of conservative parties and other groups opposed to the ruling Australian Labor Party.

		One effect of this was the success of a breakaway party, the Australian Democrats, founded in 1977 by former Liberal minister Don Chipp and members of minor Liberal parties.

	Liberal Party to suffer a crushing defeat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The leader of the SA state Liberal Party is to step down because he lost the election and losing is failure.
		If the Liberals did stand for what Liberals are supposed to stand for and stuck it out long enough in opposition they would eventually win because rising taxes, unemployment, increasing debts levels, etc, would cripple the state and the Labor Government would fall like a house of cards, just as it did before.
		For state Liberal Party to adopt the view that all it needs to do is largely follow ALP policies and manage them more professionally is not good enough.

	British Liberal Party election manifesto,1951
		The existence of a Liberal Party, as recent experience has shown, constantly reminds the individual M.P. that the crack of the party whip is by no means the be-all and end-all of a live democracy.
		Liberals, with more Members in the House, can compel Parliament to face the problems squarely and can make sure that the measures taken for their solution are based on common sense and social justice.
		The Liberals alone recognise the fact that the world is witnessing the end of the era of national self-sufficiency.

		The Liberal Party of Australia was founded on 31 August, 1945, after Robert Menzies called a conference in 1944 of conservative parties and other groups opposed to the ruling Australian Labor Party.
		Neither the present Liberal party, nor a previous Liberal party, the Commonwealth Liberal Party, adheres to the political doctrine of "liberalism" in the sense in which the word is generally used in most other countries; in international terms, Australian "Liberals" have usually been conservatives.
		The Liberals were in power in Victoria from 1955 (the election in which they defeated John Cain Sr) to 1982 (in which they were defeated by the last Labour Premier's son, John Cain Jr) and in South Australia (under several names) from 1932 to 1965.

		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.
