  National Party of Australia - Biocrawler
The Country Party was formally founded in 1922, from a number of state-based parties such as the Victorian Farmers Union (VFU) and the Farmers and Settlers Party of New South Wales.
By the 1960s the Country Party was losing ground electorally to the Liberals as the rural population declined, and in 1975 it changed its name to the National Country Party as part of a strategy to expand into urban areas.
The party's membership and support base have been under strain in recent years, being caught between the populist economic and cultural demands of the more socially conservative part of its rural electorate (attracted to the One Nation Party), rising rural support for independents, and the growing strength of the Liberal Party in country areas.

  United Australia Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Australia Party or UAP was an Australian political party that was the political successor to the Nationalist Party of Australia.
Menzies did not have widespread support, particularly from the Country Party, and various plots were made to advance former Prime Ministers Billy Hughes or Stanley Bruce to the leadership of the UAP.
The UAP was absorbed into the Liberal Party of Australia at the founding of the latter organization on 31 August 1945.

 Nationalist Party of Australia Information
The Nationalist Party of Australia was an Australian political party.
It was formed on 17 February 1917 from a merger of pro-conscription members of the Labor Party led by Prime Minister Billy Hughes (who had been operating under the banner 'National Labor' after their earlier split with the Labor Party) with the Commonwealth Liberal Party, replacing the latter as the main conservative anti-Labor party.
Hughes and the Nationalists governed on their own until the elections of 1922, when the newly emerged Country Party gained the balance of power in the House of Representatives.

The Commonwealth Liberal Party was a fusion of the non-Labor parties in 1909 in response to Labor's growing electoral prominence.
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 national Leader of the Labor Party is elected by the Labor members of the national Parliament (the Caucus), not by the conference.
One of the party's early innovations was the establishment of a federal arbitration system for the resolution of industrial disputes, which formed the basis of the industrial relations system for many decades.
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.

 Billy Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
He was a strong supporter of Australia's participation in World War I, and after a visit to Britain in 1916 he became convinced that conscription was necessary if Australia was to sustain its contribution to the war effort.
A new party, the Country Party, was formed, representing farmers who were discontented with the Nationalists' rural policies.
Hughes was furious at this betrayal by his party and nursed his grievance on the back-benches until 1929, when he led a group of back-bench rebels who crossed the floor of the Parliament to bring down the Bruce government.

 Stanley Bruce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His public speaking attracted the attention of the Nationalist Party, and in 1918 he was elected to the House of Representatives as MP for Flinders, near Melbourne.
When the Nationalist Party lost its majority at the 1922 election, the Country Party demanded that Prime Minister Billy Hughes resign as the price of joining a coalition government, and Bruce found himself Prime Minister at the age of 39.
Bruce formed an effective partnership with the Country Party leader, Dr Earle Page, and exploited public fears of communism and militant trade unions to dominate Australian politics through the 1920s.

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.
However, the party argues that it made these changes more moderately and with greater concern for those made worse off from these changes than the Coalition would have.

By convention, the Prime Minister is the leader of the party or coalition which has the most seats in the lower house of the Federal Parliament, the House of Representatives.
In the rare event that the Prime Minister's party wins an election but the Prime Minister loses his seat, it is possible for the Governor-General to appoint someone other than a member of Parliament a Minister (and hence Prime Minister) for up to three months.
During this time a member of the Prime Minister's party with a safe seat would be forced to resign, and the Prime Minister would then be elected as member for that seat.

The general principles espoused by the Liberal Party in its platform include: free enterprise, support for the business community, individual choice, reward for individual effort, federalism, smaller government, defence, the family, and a limited welfare safety net.
Tiver says that "except for the general principles set down in platitudinous style in its platform, the Liberal Party has no elaborated or logically argued scheme of thought." Hughes argues, "it is hard to decide what the Liberal Party stands for, what its beliefs are and what it will do in any period in office".
