The National Right , [1] also known as the Conservatives , [4] or the Hard Right , [5] is one of three factions (the other two are the Moderates and the Centre Right ) [6] within the federal Liberal Party of Australia . Reportedly concerned more with social issues , [1] the faction is the most organised [1] and reactionary of the three, [7] [8] with the loudest voices of dissent within the party coming from the faction. [7] During the Prime Ministership of Malcolm Turnbull , the faction (of which Turnbull was not a member) rose in size and influence, [9] and between 2019–2022 it underwent a change of its leadership and most prominent members, including Tony Abbott , Eric Abetz and Kevin Andrews , [1] and included former Liberal Party Senators Cory Bernardi and Mathias Cormann . [10] The faction also has a significant young membership, with members Michael Sukkar (factional leader), [11] Andrew Hastie , James Paterson and former Senator Amanda Stoker all being Millennials . [12] [ failed verification ] Furthermore, former New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet is from this faction. [13] [14]
