 Before parties became established in the Australian colonies in the later 19th century , all members of the colonial parliaments were independents , occasionally labelled as " liberal " or " conservative " , amongst other terms . With the advent of Labor , these groups combined to form anti @-@ Labor parties . " Liberal " , in the Australian context , refers to what could be described as classical liberalism , and is distant from the modern meaning that the word has acquired in the United States and some other countries . As a train of thought , Australian liberalism has been less rooted in any defined ideology and more in pragmatism and opposition to Labor . Liberalism in Australia represents the centre @-@ right of the political spectrum , while Labor represents the centre @-@ left .

 Labor campaigned under the slogan " It 's Time " , an echo of Menzies ' successful 1949 slogan , " It 's Time for a Change " . Surveys showed that even Liberal voters approved of the Labor slogan . Whitlam pledged an end to conscription and the release of individuals who had refused the draft ; an income tax surcharge to pay for universal health insurance ; free dental care for students ; and renovation of aging urban infrastructure . The party pledged to eliminate university tuition fees and establish a schools commission to evaluate educational needs . The party benefited from the support of the proprietor of News Limited , Rupert Murdoch , who preferred Whitlam over McMahon . Labor was so dominant in the campaign that some of Whitlam 's advisers urged him to stop joking about McMahon ; people were feeling sorry for him . The election saw the ALP increase its tally by 12 seats , mostly in suburban Sydney and Melbourne , for a majority of nine in the House of Representatives . The ALP gained little beyond the suburban belts , however , losing a seat in South Australia and two in Western Australia .
