Liberals for Forests
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is liberals for forests. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
liberals for forests is an Australian political minor party, an offshoot of the Liberal Party of Australia. It has contested both state and federal elections in recent years, but has only achieved one elected representative - Janet Woollard in Western Australia. It has no representation at the federal level.
The party was founded in 2001 by Dr Keith Woollard, husband of Janet Woollard and an ex-AMA president.
The Party generally professes itself to be ideologically aligned with the centre-right sympathies of the Liberal Party, but with a greater regard to environmentalism.
Note that the registered party name at the Australian Electoral Commission [1] and the Western Australian Electoral Commission [2] is "liberals for forests" (uncapitalised).
