Anatomy of a corpse? The Liberal Party after the election
by Geoffrey Hawker
No one would suggest that the Liberal party is dead, but it might be dying. It has happened before and though resurrections were performed in 1917, 1931 and 1943-44 the processes were long and painful. Labor was in that position briefly in 1969-70 and recovered to its present state, but the demise of the Democrats suggests that nothing can safely be taken for granted in politics. Now that the Liberal party is out of office in every state and territory as well as federally, hard questions are rightly being asked.
AQ welcomes submissions of articles
and manuscripts on economic, political, social, philosophical, historical and
scientific current events that impact on the public life of Australia.
Word length is between 1000 and 3000 words. Articles should
be written and argued clearly so they can be easily read by an informed but non-specialist
readership. A short biographical note should accompany work.
Authors of published articles are required to assign copyright to the
Australian Institute of Policy & Science. In return, authors have a non-exclusive licence
to publish the paper elsewhere at a future date.
This project is supported by the Australian Government through a
grant-in aid administered by the Department of Finance and Administration.
