The Liberal Party of Totally Straight Australians was founded by eagle-browed patriarch Robert Menzies as an outgrowth of the [[gay|United Australia Party]], which was in turn an outgrowth of the [[White Nationalism|Australian Nationalist]] party. Menzies became PM in 1939 after exploding his predecessors' heads Scanners style. Already the young 'roo had made great strides in ensuring that whatever he did, for good or ill, history would judge him unfairly. After failing to return Jewish communist writer Egon Kisch back to the [[live journal|concentration camp]], Menzies remarked, "That guy was a communist, too?" Soon he was hanging with [[Hitler]] and followed ED's lead (along with the rest of the mainstream right at the time) that [[pacifist|appeasing]] the dude was the anti-communist's little black dress. (Unlike ED they never bothered to ask just what [[pain series|N.A.Z.I.]] stood for, and whether the Hitler/Stalin love affair was based on more than moustache attraction.
Out of nowhere his uni-balled friend made a preemptive strike against [[Death Star|Poland]], which snowballed into World War II, serendipitously derailing Menzies's career. Old media discovered that despite being 19 when it started all he did in the first movie was playing "daddy's little bigmouth draft supporter with an occasional theatrical limp #2" in a comic relief scene set on private school polo grounds. Indeed he'd spent the war majoring in Machiavellian His excuse was that since two of his brothers had served, his family had sacrificed enough man-lumber already. [[unwarranted self-importance|Besides, he was the valuable one, the one who didn't need to fight to prove he was superior, the dreamboat with eyebrows like a discarded toothbrush and the permanently constipated look of a godly politician.]]
So in 1941 Menzies got the boot and this article started flickering and fading out like McFlies. Outed as a cowardly hypocrite before people expected it of their leaders, Mendez felt very very [[drunk|sad]], threw a shoe at his cat, and swore to give up politics. [[Jimbo Wales|"Why do anything at all if you can't be top dingo, especially when you're the only one who deserves to be?]] Especially when your own country's fighting a race of unstoppable god-men?" he'd sigh, over and over into his meths bottle. "And then it was as if the meths bottle answered back," he'd later write. "I learned then the one thing that separates [[Aboriginals]] from animals: they know that white Australians have no self-esteem. The Abbos flatter by seeming ugly and revolting; I'll do it with those tips [[Nazis|Goebbels]] gave me over schnapps."
Soon, Menzie was back... like a [[STD|boomerang]]!
Menzie's first move was to make a sappy speech called [[trying too hard|"The Forgotten People"]] about how noble the middle class are and what a raw deal they get from life. Since he and everyone he knew considered middle class to be less than six servants on the payroll, and Aussie rich are the snobbiest rich in the world due to their massive inferiority complex, a few honest lines did slip in: [[all your base are belong to us|"I will raze your bungalows, burn your coupon books, drive your aspidistras before me, and hear the lamentations of your house-slippers!"]] He did kiss enough ass to stop people from throwing darts at him [[in the ass|on the street]], but that may have been due to wartime shortages. The middle class enjoyed the fine compliments, and all the jokes about the truly wretched lower classes, but since his arch-enemies in the Labor Party were wiping the floor with the [[jews|O.G. Axis of Evil]], with only a minimum of help from [[jews|forty other countries]], they were neigh unstoppable. The United Australia Party, tainted by Menzie's Naziocity, gave up and croaked in 1943.
Unskilled at everything but mouthing off, Menzie formed the Liberal Party of Australia immediately after. They didn't stand an Abbo's chance in a crosswalk until 1948, when Australia realized the war was over. They also realized the Soviet Union had just gained half of Europe, France and England all the sympathy, and America all the Nazi scientists. China'd gone red and was making AK-47s, not fortune cookie, and communist university students said hilarious things as you beat them up. So as American politicians would steal Menzie's "The Forgotten People" ruse (Nixon's "Silent Majority", Reagan's cornflake commercials, W.'s "regular guy" bit), Menzie stole a bit from Americans, that they'd actually borrowed from the Nazis.
First, he freaked out about the one thing everybody else was freaking out about: communism. Communism being basically the government taking not just everything you own, but everything own-able, then passing around little chunks of it with the common sense and compassion governments are known for, Menzie had a point. Still, communism hadn't failed anywhere yet, and he most spectacularly had; most voters thought communism wasn't a threat because Labor Party socialism plus good Christian charity would keep the poor dumb and happy. And no way would they invade Australia after we'd saved them from Hitler and those [[Simpsons|sandle-wearing goldfish-tenders.]] Labor won WWII, Labor was united; the right-wing was in a miserable tatters. So Menzie's second tactic was to recruit all the disparate tribes of judgemental busybodies; many of whom, like an American Teabagger in front of a [[Faux News]] camera, claims to be a complete [[retard|political virgin]]. Nowadays that's supposed to inspire confidence. Back then you still needed a sort of intellectual rubric so Menzie, after marathon viewings of his second-favorite German export The Neverending Story gave them a new name. A new name, for a new group of people, who, far from being complacent ignoramuses, easily goaded to hysteria, were really there all along, they were just - wait for it - The Forgotten People. (Menzie: "They are too real!")
The Liberal Party of Australia slung enough pink mud that they routed the Labor Party only four years after the latter won The War to End All Wars II: Electric Boogaloo. The wind shifts quickly in politics. Sometimes not quickly enough, though. Menzies ruled Australia until his retirement in 1966, whereupon he wrote and recorded the music for a Monkees-like boy band called the Easybeats, and many others. The party he began continued to dominated the PM seat until the end of 1972.
Also, you must keep in mind that the terms "Liberal" and "Conservative" vary from country to country, so in a country that's more politically advanced, a conservative might have the same opinions as a liberal in a country that isn't politically advanced. In this vein, we KNOW that Australia is [[over 9000]] years behind the [[USA]] politically because the Liberals of Australia are similar to the conservatives of the US.
tl;dr : Australia is filled with [[faggots]]
Fraser and his Party took over and after within a year Australia was suddenly nothing more than a big island with a giant desert in the middle and a lot of weird but cute animals. Civilization-wise it was kind of like the American wild west, but with gayer hats: either floppy and pinned up on one side, or hung with empty thread spools. Eventually (in 1965) electricity was granted the Australians from the soft-hearted Laotian government, and Australia used it the only way they could think of: scoring groupies. Roadhouse touring created the only Australian import anyone cares about: crude-ass boogie and sleazeball punk. Of course the Easybeats and AC/DC grew up in Scotland, Deniz Tek is from Detroit, and every other band split for England first chance. Nobody wants to stay too long and end up looking like [[midget|Angry Anderson]] or [[milf|Kylie Minogue]]! The only bands that drew attention their "essential Australian-ness" (Men at Work, Midnight Oil, INXS) only did so because the Liberal Party was stuffing their stockings.
Despite feeling sexually uncomfortable around this music, the Liberals knew which side of their bread had the vegemite on it, and fapped quietly until the 1980 rape and murder of Bon Scott. (If only the politicians involved had a better understanding of the [[Chris Chan|true and honest]] meaning of his band's name, Bon might still be givin' it up today.) AC/DC's choice of a pure Scotsman as their new lead singer demoralized the Australian people to the power of ten thousand drunken binges. 1983's Flick of the Switch album after being [[pwned]] in the election of 1983, Fraser was next seen in the lobby of a Memphis USA hotel, pantsless. He complained that someone had stolen his pants and wallet. He had been last seen in the company of a well-known [[whore]].
In a cruel, inhumane act; the Australian government attempted to give Aboriginal communities education, medicine and clean drinking water. THOSE MONSTERS.
Facing down the [[Kevin Rudd|Kevin '07]] juggernaut, a public weary of a neo-con [[fundie|fundamentalist Christian]] voted Howard out of government for a slightly younger neo-con [[Kevin Rudd|fundamentalist Christian]]. He was the second Prime Minister in the history of Australia to lose his seat in parliament after a federal election defeat. [[And nothing of value was lost]].
In April, 2008, Liberal opposition leader Troy Buswell admitted to sniffing the seat of a menstruating female staffer in front of the entire government, to a soundtrack of "Whacky Saxes". For what purposes he did this evades most rational people, but ED, like Jesus, accepts the "for the lulz" defense. Allegations then arose of Buswell snapping an opposition staffer's bra, exposing himself and remarking "That ain't a bra, mate. THIS is a bra." All this should've make Buswell a hero to the typical Australian, except that he broke down crying during a press conference regarding the matter, and blamed it on [[emo|personal issues]]. When asked what "personal issues" make someone a seat-sniffer, he mixed Fosters with semen, and promptly [[Chris Chan|"recycled"]] it.
In what could be described as an act of pure stupidity, Liberal members from the federal seat of [[Shithole|Lindsey]] decided that to win the election, a large group of them would walk around dropping fake leaflets from the Islamic Council, calling for clemency for convicted terrorists, and purporting to be endorsed by the Labor Party. This group was caught by Labor Party hacks, and a media shitstorm ensued. Naturally, they lost their seat in parliament, and key members were sentenced to assrape in jail.
[[Tony Abbott]] was quick to tell the media that his party was [[Not gay|not corrupt]] and that they should instead focus on his Commission into Union Corruption ([[Irony|which he had announced only DAYS before this scandal erupted]]) instead, as this would impact badly on the other party. Thankfully, nobody has paid attention to this right wing crackpot since.
In May 2009, http://web.vee.net/stuff/liberalpartyasshat/" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a blog was created by Young Liberals to showcase the hottest girls of the Young Liberals. Naturally, such a blog drew widespread condemnation from:
*The Liberal Party (for creating a shitstorm)
*The Labor Party and the Greens Party (to rub shit in the Young Liberal's faces)
*Family First (for corrupting the young right of Australia)
