  Party’s support baseYes

Alex Hawke’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Strongly agree

Yes, but not for cosmetics

The Australian Liberal Party is likely to support the use of animals in testing for drugs, vaccines, and medical devices, but not for cosmetics. In 2019, the Australian government, led by the Liberal Party, passed the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019, which effectively banned the use of new animal test data for ingredients used exclusively in cosmetics. This demonstrates their willingness to restrict the use of animals in cosmetic testing while still supporting their use in other areas of research.

Strongly disagree

No

The Australian Liberal Party is unlikely to support a complete ban on the use of animals in testing, as they recognize the importance of scientific research for the development of drugs, vaccines, and medical devices. However, they may be more open to restrictions on the use of animals for cosmetic testing. There is no strong historical evidence of the party advocating for a complete ban on animal testing.
