George Reid - Australia's only true liberal leader

As Premier of New South Wales (1894-1899) and Prime Minister of Australia (1904-1905), George Reid lay the foundation for Australia's secular public education system, eliminated patronage and corruption from the public service, introduced a public health act, reformed land laws, and championed a strong and prosperous economy through his passionate belief in free trade.
The Reid Group seeks to promote a national renovation of Australian political life and renew Australia's place as an open society based on liberal values.
