Can someone explain how exactly the Protectionist Party and the Free Trade Party merged? It would seem like their goals were mutually exclusive. What was the new party's trade policy?-- Lairor ( talk) 16:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
The term "Commonwealth Liberal Party" was primarily used for Deakin's organisation not for the parliamentary party. Refer this Trove search - hardly any hits outside Victoria, only around 100 a year after Deakin's organisation changed its name and less than 100 combined after 1914. I'd say the remainder is "Commonwealth" being used as a synonym for "Federal", "Federal Liberal Party" returns many more hits during this time. Also, 1 google hit for "commonwealth liberal party"+site:adb.anu.edu.au - the article on Ivy Deakin Brookes, referring to Deakin's organisation; 0 google hits for "commonwealth liberal party"+site:biography.senate.gov.au. Unfortunately some sources have copied from Wikipedia so there's a bit of a feedback loop. Not the end of the world, but I think there's an impression that the CLP name was actually used just like the ALP or UAP instead of someone using it to distinguish from the modern Liberals.
