What happened to the “Liberal” in “Liberal Party”? It’s a question that many former top Liberals are clearly asking, with a mini-exodus of three – former Queensland premier Campbell Newman, former Parramatta MP Ross Cameron and former Warringah operative John Ruddick – to the Liberal Democrats.
Mainstream Australians would more than blush at the no-holds-barred extreme libertarianism of the minor party – Ruddick even attended the idiotic anti-lockdown protest in Sydney – but these diehard freedom-fighters could be forgiven for finding the nominally Liberal Prime Minister Scott Morrison a very Liberal fish indeed.

Former Aussie MP Quits Over Government’s Support of COVID Restrictions, Joins New Party
Former Liberal Party MP, and ex-Sky News commentator, Ross Cameron has joined the Liberal Democrat Party, citing disappointment with the governing Coalition and its support of using lockdowns to tackle the CCP virus in Australia.
His announcement follows the decisions of fellow Liberal Party members John Ruddick and Campbell Newman to quit the party.
Cameron, who served in federal Parliament from 1996 to 2004 under former Prime Minister John Howard, said the decision was sparked by disappointment with the Liberal Party saying it no longer represented values such as tight fiscal spending and greater freedoms for the individual.
