Nationalist Party of Australia
The
Nationalist Party of Australia
was an Australian political party. It was formed on 17 February 1917 from a merger between the conservative
Commonwealth Liberal Party
and the
National Labor Party
, the name given to the pro-
conscription
defectors from the
Australian Labor Party
led by
Prime Minister
Billy Hughes
. The Nationalist Party held government (at times in coalition) until 1929. From then it was the major opposition to the Labor party until it merged with pro-
Joseph Lyons
Labor defectors to form the
United Australia Party
in 1931, which was the predecessor to the 1944 foundation of the
Liberal Party of Australia
.
