The National Right,[1] also known as the Conservatives,[7] or the Hard Right,[8] is one of three factions (the other two are the Moderates and the Centre Right)[9] within the federal Liberal Party of Australia. Reportedly concerned more with social issues,[1] the faction is the most organised[1] and reactionary of the three,[10][11] with the loudest voices of dissent within the party coming from the faction.[10] During the Prime Ministership of Malcolm Turnbull, the faction (of which Turnbull was not a member) rose in size and influence,[12] and between 2019–2022 it underwent a change of its leadership and most prominent members, including Tony Abbott, Eric Abetz and Kevin Andrews,[1] and included former Liberal Party Senators Cory Bernardi and Mathias Cormann.[13] The faction also has a significant young membership, with members Michael Sukkar (factional leader),[14] Andrew Hastie, James Paterson and former Senator Amanda Stoker all being Millennials.[15][failed verification] Furthermore, former New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet is from this faction.[16][17]
The current leader of the faction is Leader of the Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton.[18][failed verification] As of the 2022 Australian federal election, the National Right is the Liberal Party's largest faction, with 27 of 65 Liberal MPs aligned with the faction.[19]
