Is Quadrant conservative? It's more of a liberal magazine (though with a conservative bent...).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lewd199 (talk • contribs) 13:41, 18 October 2006.

Quadrant is absolutely conservative. It is beloved of John Howard and his conservative backers. Quadrant dinners are where you'll find Howard and Costello giving speeches to their biggest fans. Whatever Quadrant was in the past, today it is the magazine of the Australian right, drifting further to the right along with the Howard government. You use the term "liberal" (small l), making me wonder if you're confusing it with Liberal (big L), which is ironically the name of Australia's ruling conservative party. The party got its name from economic liberalism (support of free markets) and is opposed to liberals. See Liberal conservatism and Liberal Party of Australia. 59.167.6.83 07:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
