| | National Party of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The 1980s were dominated by the feud between Bjelke-Petersen and the federal party leadership, which led to defeat at the 1987 federal election and the fall of the Nationals in Queensland in 1989. | | | At the 1922 election the Country Party was established as a national party led by Dr Earle Page of Grafton, NSW. | | | By the 1960s the Country Party was losing ground electorally to the Liberals as the rural population declined, and in 1975 it changed its name to the National Country Party as part of a strategy to expand into urban areas. |

| | In the Northern Territory, the Nationals have a close association with the Country Liberal Party which has held government in that territory and has a Senator in the Commonwealth Parliament. | | | This party changed its name in 1975 to the National Country Party and again in 1982 to the National Party of Australia to appeal to a wider constituency. | | | If a party's policies are attractive to enough voters they will achieve a majority of members in the parliament and then form the government. |

| | In the 2001 election, the National party lost three seats – and some of its clout in the governing coalition. | | | By 1982, he was elected deputy leader of the Liberal party. | | | The party has had difficulty hanging on to its support base in recent years, due to a growing gulf between its rural conservative elements and increasing rural support for green candidates and independents. |

| | The conservative Coalition of the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister John Howard, and the National Party of Australia led by Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson, won a fourth three-year term, with a net gain of four seats in the 150-member House of Representatives. | | | The National and Liberal Parties won the fifth and sixth seats respectively in Queensland, thus giving the Coalition 39 seats and outright control of the Senate. | | | Even Howard had described that feat as "a big ask."The election result was a triumph for Howard, who in December 2004 became Australia's second-longest serving Prime Minister, and who will see the election result as a vindication of his policies, particularly his decision to join in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. |

| | In Australia, the growth of a strong Labor Party representing workers and trade unions was matched by the development of opposing parties such as the National Party and the Liberal Party. | | | As a small party, the Democrats have not won seats in the House of Representatives (as at September 1998), but the voting system for the Senate can sometimes give them five or six seats (and the balance of power) in the Senate. | | | Like the Democrats the Greens have not won seats in the House of Representatives but the voting system in the Senate has given them up to two seats in the Senate (as at September 1998). |

| | In 1944, the Liberal Party of Australia was founded after a three-day meeting held in a small hall not far from Parliament House in Canberra. | | | The Liberal Party was founded as a genuine mass-based party in the belief that having the largest possible number of members would allow the Party to be truly representative of the whole Australian community. | | | Liberal governments led the field in the promotion of equal opportunity and social justice for women with the introduction of far-sighted policies such as the Child Care Act in 1972 and the Family Allowance in 1976. |

| | Nationals' survival depends on new agenda - 15 June 2002 |
| | At the 2001 election, Tim Fischer's old seat of Farrer went to the Liberals, despite the Labor Party's best endeavours behind-the-scenes to help the Nationals retain the seat. | | | An astute observer of the political scene, Minchin has watched the gradual decline of the Nationals and the emergence of the Liberal Party as the dominant regional party in Australia, and he believes that on demographics alone the National Party is doomed. | | | Whatever the faults of the Nationals, Senator Boswell argues, it manages to keep extremist and racist elements out of Parliament. |

| | Policy not structure the problem for National Party - 26 January 2002 |
| | After every federal election, there is the inevitable party political post mortems, in which the winners (who are grinners) evaluate why they are so ‘popular’ with the electorate, and the losers, why they are "on the nose". | | | In the previous parliament they had 15 MPs, but on November 9, lost the seats of Kennedy to Independent Bob Katter, New England to Independent Tony Windsor, and Tim Fisher’s seat of Farrer to the Liberals, while Paul Neville just fell across the line in Hinkler by the barest of margins. | | | Over the decades, all major parties have had very forgettable MPs who were carried to victory, time and again, on the coat tails of their party and popular leaders. |
