Conservative Right Liberal Party of Australia

The Conservative Right is the informal conservative faction of the Liberal Party of Australia. The conservative grouping tends to be more socially conservative and fiscally conservative than the Moderate Left faction. The Conservative Right is a broad group of various liberal conservative-leaning parliamentarians, from the centre-right "soft right", to the more conservative "hard right".

Political views

Members of the Conservative Right grouping are mostly united over a number of social issues, taking opposite positions to their colleagues in the more dominant left of the party. The issues of same-[...] marriage in Australia, an Australian republic (mostly support remain of current Constitutional monarchy in Australia), carbon emissions reduction, climate change and public Education funding are the main divisive issues between the liberal and conservative factions of the party, with the Conservative Right taking status quo positions in these areas.

Members of the conservative right faction were also largely supportive of the leadership of Tony Abbott, who lost the 2015 leadership spill to current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, of the moderate liberal.

The Conservative Right has had many successful former prime ministers such as John Howard and Tony Abbott, which won five successful elections from 1996 to 2013.
