Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The author believes the Australian Liberal Party's contradictory philosophies of liberalism and conservatism were a key factor in its defeat in the November 2007 election. He suggests that the Labor Party can win over those Liberals who want a party that governs from the centre and promotes a policy of social liberalism. He describes social liberals as people who respect individual rights and are committed to social justice and equal opportunity for all. Chris Bowen addressed The Sydney Institute on Tuesday 18 November 2008.
