Name


The party initially adopted the name Liberal Party. In 1949 the party changed the name to Liberal and Country League;[1] unlike the party of the same name in South Australia this did not involve a merger with the state Country Party although one individual MLA did defect from the Country Party to the Liberals. In 1968 the party changed its name to the Liberal Party of Australia (Western Australian Division).[2]
