SUBMISSIONS OPEN: 2025 FEDERAL ELECTION REVIEW

The review of the Liberal Party’s 2025 federal election campaign has been established and is now seeking submissions.

The review will be conducted the Hon. Pru Goward AO and the Hon. Nick Minchin AO.

The terms of reference for the review are:

To conduct a review of the Liberal Party’s 2025 federal election result, including the campaign and the parliamentary term, and to make recommendations arising from the review.

The review will include examination of the performance of – and lessons arising for – the Federal Secretariat/CCHQ, the Parliamentary party, the Divisions of the Liberal Party (including the Country Liberal Party’s campaign in Solomon), and consultants and service providers used by the Party.

The review will also examine, among other things:

· An historically low primary vote for the Liberal Party.

· The Party’s electoral performance among different voter segments.

· The long-term challenge for the Party presented by ‘independents’.

The review will consult with relevant subject matter experts.

Further relevant matters may be considered as the review progresses, where they are judged to have a material bearing on the Party’s electoral prospects.

All members and supporters are welcome to make submissions to the review by emailing review@liberal.org.au.

All submissions will be treated as strictly confidential. They should be sent to the review by Friday 1 August.
