"Over the last few years at least two prominent Liberals have visited the U.S. to chat with conservative forces there.  In 2010, Finance Minister Mathias Cormann met with various conservative and Tea Party groups.  In the mid 2000s, Senator Corey Bernardi paid a visit to the Leadership Institute, a conservative “training” organization.  Their mission statement, in part, reads:

The Leadership Institute’s mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of conservative activists and leaders in the public policy process.
To accomplish this, the Institute identifies, recruits, trains, and places conservatives in government, politics, and the media.

Inspired by their apparent greatness and depth of vision, Bernardi set up his own Australian version, the Conservative Leadership Foundation.  Their self-description, in part, reads:
The CLF assists those individuals who are prepared to be a public voice for the traditionalist conservative perspective to take leadership roles in business, the media, academia, political and community organisations"
