Liberal Democratic Party (Australia) → Libertarian Party (Australia) – The party is no longer known as the Liberal Democratic Party and has since changed it's name. Catiline52 (talk) 02:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support: The party members have voted for a name change and the AEC have been notified and so I see no reason why it shouldn't happen. The disambiguation page at Libertarian_Party will need to be updated if this move request is carried. AlanS^talk 03:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support It seems the only logical thing to do. HiLo48 (talk) 03:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose: No such application has been published on the AEC website. This party will likely change its name to "Libertarian Party" soon, but we need to wait until it actually does so, and not pre-empt it. We should wait until the Australian Electoral Commission actually approves the name change. Speculating - there may well be branch variations, where some states implement the change and some do not, or objection to the name change from other actors in the registration process which are upheld by the AEC as described by the Electoral Act, which would make a name change of this article inappropriate.

  Support: The name change is inevitable - all branches bar NSW have changed their branding, an application in Victoria has been made but delayed bc of Warrandyte by-election

  I understand why you might want to wait but the party name has changed - just not the registration Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 23:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  No such application exists on the AEC website as the formerly named Liberal Democrats have been de-registered at a federal level. Not sure why we'd need to wait for a party that doesn't exist federally? Catiline52 (talk) 22:30, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose: The change to "Libertarian Party" is mired in potential /actual litigation as the trademark IPAustralia Search is registered and is desired by force of want as there are currently two elected party members, Limbrick (VIC) and Ruddick (NSW) - irony is one is from the left and the other from the right, just how far extreme on the spectrum is for the individual to discern. The AEC enacts a stringent process and with the 'libertarian' name held by those other than the potential usurpers then time will tell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.18.237.236 (talk) 01:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah a bloke that has voted in favour of conversion therapy practices is from the left. Good laugh. You libertarians confuse issues which are about individualism as being left-wing too much. AlanS^talk 05:16, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• At first glance, I would have to oppose this as premature per WP:NAMECHANGES. Has there been any RS usage of the new name? Latest coverage I could find is back in April. Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:00, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Contributors think it is too soon to make this change. Leaving this move request open indefinitely until something changes seems unnecessary to me. If something materially changes, then this can be renominated in the future. (non-admin closure) Rreagan007 (talk) 01:46, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liberal Democratic Party (Australia) → Libertarian Party (Australia) – Obviously we had this discussion just after the new name was announced in July, but it's worth making the change now.

The party is registered in three jurisdictions - Victoria, NSW and the ACT. The registration in Victoria has changed and any candidate (hint hint 2023 Mulgrave state by-election) will appear as 'Libertarian' on the ballot https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/about-us/media/28-september-change-of-registered-political-party-name

The ACT branch has rebranded on its socials and their registered name will likely change soon too https://www.facebook.com/LibDemACT

All other unregistered state branches, as well as the federal branch, have changed their name on social media except for NSW (the party said they aren't changing their NSW name just yet)

Given 'Libertarian' may be on a ballot within weeks as the name is now officially registered - the change is now not premature Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 10:44, 28 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:44, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the page for the other Libertarian Party, which is now called Liberty Australia. It should soon be possible to move this page to Libertarian Party (Australia)

• Comment a disambiguation page or list page should be created for Libertarian Parties from Australia, the eras that they existed in and eras in which they were called "Libertarian" and regions in which they operated should be indicated in such a page. -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 07:31, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose would still oppose this name change as on the party's website, if you click each state/territory branch under "states," only the Victorian branch refers to itself as "Libertarian Party" and all other branches continue to refer to themselves as "Liberal Democrats"/"Liberal Democratic Party." Moreover, the electoral registration name change has only been done for the Victorian branch. John Ruddick is also still referred to as a Liberal Democratic Party MP in the NSW parliament. I think it would be unwise to pre-empt a federal name change if there is disagreement in the branches as to what the party should be called. The way I organise it in my head is that the Victorian branch of the Liberal Democrats is named the "Libertarian Party," and all other branches, at present, retain the name "Liberal Democratic Party." If the Liberal Democrats attain federal registration under the name "Libertarian Party" by the time of the writs of the next election, then I would support the name change regardless of if the other state and territory branches retain the name "Liberal Democrats." However, at present, I see no reason as to why we should be supporting such a name change - Wikipedia should not predict what will happen in the future. I think the party website is a better source than the social media accounts. J2m5 (talk) 05:30, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose given that the party is still federally called Liberal Democrats, the name should be left as is for the time being. Allow redirects from Libertarian Party (Victoria) etc but until a federal name change, I don't think the move should go ahead. Paddleboat4 (talk) 10:15, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The federal branch has applied formally to rename itself to the Libertarian Party. Keep discussion open till AEC makes a call?
