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", such as lower taxes, opposing restrictions on civil liberties, decentralisation, uranium mining, and the relaxation of smoking laws. The party is also socially conservative.
As of February 2025, the party is registered in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia as well as for federal elections with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).
