The University of Tasmania Liberal Club (TULC) is a politically affiliated club based at the University of Tasmania. The club is closely tied with the Liberal Party of Australia and at times through its history has been a constitutional branch of the Tasmanian Division. The club is the fourth oldest of its kind in Australia after the University of Melbourne Liberal Club founded in 1925,[2] the Sydney University Liberal Club in 1933[3] and the University of Western Australia Liberal Club in 1944. The club hosts policy debates, annual dinners, student election campaigns, and guest speaker events with members of parliament. It is an affiliate of the Australian Liberal Students' Federation[4] and the Tasmania University Union.[5]
