Not necessarily, you could be a Conservative and still a member of Labor Right

This forum needs a great big welcome sign on the homepage:

PLEASE AVOID SPLITTING THE HAIRS. THEY HAVE FEELINGS TOO.

No, liberal means left wing, you had it right.

Labor Party: Liberal (centre-left)

Liberal Party: Conservative (centre-right) - Originally called "liberal" because they consider themselves to be economic libertarians.

In your BOS profile, for example, if you put "conservative" you would be a liberal party, one nation or nationals party voter. If you put "liberal" you would most likely be green, democrats or ALP.

Economic liberalism and social conservatism are completely different things. The labor party believes in more government intervention in people's lives (re:internet censorship, alcopop tax) and more government intervention in the economy. They are in no way liberal.
