Australian Liberal Union
The Liberal Party was a parliamentary party in Australian federal politics between 1909 and 1917. The party was founded under Alfred Deakin's leadership as a merger of the Protectionist Party and Anti-Socialist Party, an event known as the Fusion.

Objections towards Reid saw Deakin take the lead in coordinating the merger.
