The Libertarian Party (LP), formerly known as the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), is an Australian political party founded in Canberra in 2001. The party espouses smaller government and a philosophy stated in 2013 to be "broadly described as classical liberal or libertarian",[9] such as lower taxes, opposing restrictions on civil liberties, decentralisation, uranium mining, and the relaxation of smoking laws.[10]
As of February 2025, the party is registered in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia[11] as well as for federal elections with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).[12]
