There's no other figure that looms larger over the Liberal Party of Australia than Sir Robert Menzies. In fact few Australians have gained such fame, or held such influence, over the nation than the former Liberal prime minister. He created the party, was Australia's longest serving prime minister and is bound to be quoted or referred to by Liberal candidates during the federal election campaign. Scott Morrison became Australia's 30th prime minister in August last year when the Liberal Party voted him in as leader after a very public and acrimonious leadership spill. He came into the job after the conservative wing of the party grew frustrated with Malcolm Turnbull's inability to pass his signature energy and tax-cut policies. He appears to have unified the Liberal Party once again, however some are not sure he'll be able to guide the Coalition to victory at the election.
