National Right (Liberal Party of Australia)

The National Right, also known as the Conservatives, or the Hard Right, is one of four factions (the other three are the Moderates, Centrists, and the Centre Right) within the federal Liberal Party of Australia. Reportedly concerned more with social issues, the faction is the most organised and the furthest right-leaning of the four. During the Prime Ministership of Malcolm Turnbull, the faction (of which Turnbull was not a member) rose in size and influence, and between 2019–2022 it underwent a change of its leadership and most prominent members, including Tony Abbott, Eric Abetz and Kevin Andrews, and included former Liberal Party Senators Cory Bernardi and Mathias Cormann. The faction also has a significant young membership, with members Michael Sukkar (factional leader), Andrew Hastie, James Paterson and former Senator Amanda Stoker all being Millennials. Furthermore, former New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet is from this faction.

The current leader of the faction is Leader of the Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton. 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.
