I’m hoping you are being sarcastic

I was asking for information because I have not followed Australian politics. To me, their conservatives seem socialist like in UK, but unlike UK I don't hear much about Aud. So I thought that if someone took the trouble of posting the news, maybe the person could let me know who the conservative was.

Fair point. While it's true that their "conservatives" aren't quite our conservatives, they are much close to American conservationism than to the UK Tories.

I don't know enough about their immediate political landscape to give you any informed insight with respect who are the specific conservative politicians you should be looking for. Sorry.

OK… …sometimes I too have trouble understanding another country’s definition of conservative or liberal..

But your post did not ask a question….your post was demeaning toward the Australians….they have been good friends …..
