Until recent times the Liberal Party occupied the centre of Australian politics. The Liberals have recently moved more to the right of politics as the Labor Party has moved to the centre.
Until the 1970s the Liberal Party occupied the centre of Australian politics. However, the breakway of left-wing groups meant that the Liberals have moved to the right of politics with the Labor Party occupying the centre-left.
The Liberal Party is divided into state-based divisions. The Liberals contest both state and federal elections, but do not officially contest local government elections. However many party members stand for local council elections in their own right.
