Redistribution Liberals

The Redistribution Liberals were a loosely structured political party active in the Australian state of Victoria from 1924 to 1926.

They opposed the proposed redistribution, which entrenched smaller country seats compared to metropolitan ones, although for varied reasons.

The Liberals subsequently agreed to support a Country-Nationalist government, led by Country Party leader John Allan.

They supported a 1925 redistribution bill that continued rural malapportionment, but soon fell out again with the Nationalists and began to work more closely with Labor.

In early 1926 they raised questions about the redistribution bill and the government was in danger of defeat, but divisions within their own ranks intervened.
