The Liberal Party with its state divisions earlier this year provided the commission with a 54-page objection to the registration earlier this year, claiming the name was a "cynical attempt to 'piggyback' on the name Liberal Party".

It said the name would likely be confused with the Liberal Party of Australia or might lead a reasonable person to think there was a connection or relationship with the two parties.

"The deployment of the word 'new' in the New Liberals strongly suggests that it is derivative of the Liberals." the objection read.

In her decision over the registration, assistant commissioner Joanne Reid said the fact that The New Liberals contained the word 'liberal' was not enough to refuse registering the name.

"I find, as delegate of the Electoral Commission, that the name The New Liberals is sufficiently visually and aurally distinct from the Liberal Party of Australia," she said.

Any party is able to ask for the registration to be reviewed over the next 28 days.

The New Liberals leader Victor Kline said the party intended to offer an alternative to disaffected Liberal Party voters who were dissatisfied with conservative aspects of the party.

He said the New Liberals would run six Senate candidates at the next federal election as well as candidates in Braddon and Bass.

Mr Kline said these candidates had been pre-selected, however, would not be named until a time closer to the next federal election.

He said the party would make a job guarantee a policy priority.

"This will be a nationally funded but locally administered non-compulsory scheme where anyone who wants a job will be given one which suits their talents and inclinations and at a full living wage," Mr Kline said.

"If there is nothing suitable available, they will be trained and paid a full wage whilst being trained.

"[Robert] Menzies was all about responsible deficit spending to create full employment, which at the same time stimulates the economy to everyone's benefit."
