“My Darling Heather,

I write to you at a time when I think I have never felt worse about politics. The idiots who now run the Liberal Party drive me right round the bend …. But, of course, the main trouble is that we have the State Executive of the Liberal Party, which is dominated by what they now call ‘Liberals with a small l’ – that is to say Liberals who believe in nothing but who will believe in anything if they think it is worth a few votes. The whole thing is quite tragic.”

– Sir Robert Menzies, Letter to his daughter, 8th of April 1974

We Believe

1. Freedom:

We believe in the inalienable rights and freedoms of all people as the foundation for every man and woman to be their better selves. We support the basic freedoms of parliamentary democracy – the freedom of thought, worship, speech and association.

2. Free Enterprise:

We believe that business – not government – are the true creators of wealth and employment. We support lower taxes, deregulation and limited government. We believe in the virtues of self-reliance, enterprise, thrift and hard work.

3. Flag:

We respect the flag and everything that it represents; the values which have informed Australian institutions our culture, our national sense of identity since its foundation. We recognise that Australia is enriched by the diversity of the people that have made Australia their home.

4. Family:

We believe that the traditional family is the natural and fundamental building block of society. Defending the family unit is central to preserving a safe and secure society.
