The Liberal Party of Australia is an Australian political party.
Founded a year after the 1943 federal election to replace the United Australia Party, the centre-right Liberal Party typically competes with the centre-left Australian Labor Party for political office. Federally, the Liberal Party runs in a Coalition with the National Party (formerly the Country Party), and more recently with the Country Liberal Party (in the Northern Territory) and the Liberal National Party of Queensland. Except for a few short periods, the Coalition has been in existence for almost a century.
In federal politics, the Liberal Party has been in opposition since the Howard Government lost the 2007 federal election, having previously held power since the 1996 election.
Since the Liberal Party of Australia leadership election of 2009, the federal leader of the party has been Tony Abbott, with Julie Bishop as deputy. Abbott and Bishop retained their party leadership positions after the 2010 election.
