Ah, you've fallen into the commonest trap for young players with Australian politics, the Liberal party IS the conservative party here.
And there was a time when the Republican party was liberal, too [looks fondly into the mists of history].
Though the Labor party has its share of religious nutters, too, but they are generally kept in check by the rigid caucus structure of the party.
CNN has me gobsmacked at the moment, I still haven't got over their treatment of Matthew Mitcham. Thank goodness for the internet, or I would despair for all my American friends. It's a bit like China over there at the moment (Actually, if I think about the egregious arrests around the RNC, it's EXACTLY like China).
