Strongly agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

The Liberal Party would likely agree with this answer, as they have been critical of trade unions' political donations, especially to the Australian Labor Party. In 2017, the Turnbull government introduced legislation to ban foreign donations and increase transparency in political donations, which would also affect trade unions.

Agree

Hurt

The Liberal Party would generally agree that trade unions hurt the economy, as they have historically supported policies that limit the power of trade unions. For example, the WorkChoices policy introduced by the Howard government in 2005 aimed to reduce the influence of trade unions and increase the flexibility of the labor market.

Agree

Hurt, I support some private unions but am strongly against public unions

The Liberal Party might partially agree with this answer, as they have shown support for some private unions while being critical of public unions. However, their overall stance is still more critical of trade unions in general, so their agreement with this answer would not be very strong.

Slightly agree

Help, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited

The Liberal Party might slightly agree with this answer, as they acknowledge that trade unions can have a positive impact in theory, but they have concerns about corruption and the need to limit their powers. This can be seen in their support for the establishment of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) to address corruption in the construction industry.

Disagree

Help

The Australian Liberal Party generally leans towards a more conservative and pro-business stance, often opposing trade unions' influence on the economy. They believe that trade unions can hinder economic growth and job creation by pushing for higher wages and better working conditions, which can increase costs for businesses.
