The Liberal party is the conservative party. No Conservative party in Australia AFAIK.

The Liberal party is broadly social-conservative, pro-business.

The Labor party is broadly speaking socially liberal and pro-labour.

You're on the money, but just a bit out of date. We have a (very) new far-right party called the Australian Conservatives now. The creation of a former Liberal party senator.

Ahh, make australia great again.

> No Conservative party in Australia AFAIK

There's the Family First Party, who merged with Cory Bernardi's Australian Conservatives. There's also the Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile).

You a little behind the times. That was true many years ago, in the Fraser years. Now it's "The The Liberal party is the conservative party. There is currently no 'John Stuart Mill' liberal party in Australia".

Australia has what's referred to as 'big-L' Liberals, who are the conservative side, as opposed to 'small-l' liberals as you'd commonly describe 'liberal politics', i.e. progressive.

Our centre-right party is the Liberal party, our centre-left is called Labor.

Because it's the same party. The Liberal Party is the name of the conservative party.

It's not even a misnomer to our American friends. The Australian main conservative party is more liberal than the American main liberal party.

"Liberals" does not mean "left-leaning" in most of the commonwealth or even the world outside the US, "social-liberal" does but "liberal" on its own is generally center-right and sometimes "conservative-right", the latter being the case for the Liberal Party of Australia (which always existed in opposition to Labour).

The Liberal Party of Australia is a conservative party. (The ACCC really should force them to change their name due to false advertising)

There's an argument to be made that they are socially conservative but economically liberal. That seems to be less true over time, however.
