The National Right,[2] also known as the Conservatives,[3] or the Hard Right,[4] is one of four factions (the other three are the Moderates, Centrists, and the Centre Right)[5] within the federal Liberal Party of Australia. Reportedly concerned more with social issues, the faction is the most organised and the furthest right of the four.[6] [7] During the Prime Ministership of Malcolm Turnbull, the faction (of which Turnbull was not a member) rose in size and influence,[8] and between 2019–2022 it underwent a change of its leadership and most prominent members, including Tony Abbott, Eric Abetz and Kevin Andrews,[2] and included former Liberal Party Senators Cory Bernardi and Mathias Cormann.[9] The faction also has a significant young membership, with members Michael Sukkar (factional leader),[10] Andrew Hastie, James Paterson and former Senator Amanda Stoker all being Millennials.[11] Furthermore, former New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet is from this faction.[12] [13]
The current leader of the faction is Leader of the Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton.[14] 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.[15]
