The National Party of Australia is an
Australian political party.Traditionally representing
rural voters, it was originally called the Country Party, but adopted the name National Country Party in
1975 and changed to its present name in 1982. Federally, in New South Wales, and to an extent Victoria, it has generally been the minor party in the traditional
coalition with the
Liberal Party of Australia in government and in opposition since the 1940s, and the
UAP/
NPA since the 1920s. However, it was the major coalition party in Queensland between 1957 and 1989.
