Socially Progressive Fiscally Conservative style.
But I can find literally zero news items about it. So either this is not for real, or they have done a terrible job of publicising their launch.

I don’t know. All the good ones are already taken. Liberal is already taken too, there was some argy bargy over the Liberal Democrats causing confusion over having a name too similar to the Liberal party.

I contacted their WA rep to ask whether they planned to take part in the WA election next year. He replied as follows.

Hello. Thanks for getting in touch. At this stage The New Liberals are an emerging party with candidates heading in to the 2022 Federal Election. I can ask the National Executive if there are any plans for a move in to state politics, but I think, at this point, the focus up until 2022 is firmly sitting in the Federal sphere. At the moment we are entirely focused on finding our “500 founders”, once we reach this level of membership we can register as a political party and put forward our candidates. Whilst we are doing this we are developing our policies and forming relationships with groups that will support us when we announce our registration. If you haven’t already have a good look at our charter, values and policies. I hope this then leads to you considering to join the party and supporting us. If you do become a member let me know if you are available as a volunteer. We are also looking for passionate, aware people who can help us. Or alternatively, you can join as a member and just follow us as a “silent” partner. If you have any questions, concerns or comments please feel free to give me a call or message me and let me know. Cheers. Trev.
I’ve got their slogan for them:
‘Yes, but we swear we didn’t inhale’.

The 500 founders will give $500 to Trev and they will have a besser block at the Buffalo Hall inscribed with their name.
Trev is currently trapped in the Bahamas.
You can meet Trev in person when it’s safe to come home.

Where did that salutation come from? I don’t remember it from my childhood. I would say I remember it from perhaps the last 20 years or so.

With the Christmas season upon us, you may find yourself hearing and saying cheers! more often, whether as a toast before drinking with friends or perhaps in exchange for a gift. The second of these two senses, as an informal way of saying ‘thank you’, is apparently a fairly recent development. While the interjection cheers! seems to have sprung to life during the First World War, as a way of expressing enthusiasm, it wasn’t until 1976 that Times journalist Philip Howard made the observation:
cheers has become the colloquial synonym in British English for ‘thanks’.
1976 P. Howard in Times 5 August, p. 12
But our first real example comes from a special Christmas episode of the much-loved British sitcom,Only Fools and Horses, five years later in 1981:
Del. (Hands Grandad a twenty-pound note) There’s a score for yer, little Christmas pressie. Grandad. Oh cheers Del, very nice of you.
1981 J. Sullivan Only Fools & Horses (1999) I. p. 61

Ta. A quick Google on “cheers” as salutation history” didn’t get far, but it is not acceptable as an email signoff unless you know the person very well, according to a couple of etiquette sites. And apparently it’s more acceptable in Britain than USA.

Eh. Email etiquette has moved on a bit. Quite common for people to be completely informal on first contact.
It’s a good thing.

I’ve been using “cheers” on emails since I first got email (probably 1992). I also sign off as Michael V. after my first contact with someone. (Hence the origin of my name here…)
