FED:Liberals seek identity rebuild at key federal gathering

The Liberal Party is hoping to rebuild its identity as a viable alternative government during a key national meeting of party leaders and powerbrokers.

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor will front the Liberal Party federal council meeting in Melbourne on Saturday.

Deputy leader Jane Hume and outgoing federal director Andrew Hirst will also address the gathering.

Senior party leaders told the meeting's first session on Friday while there were challenges ahead, the party could regain the trust of voters.

"It takes character to rebuild when the work is hard and the path is long," outgoing federal president John Olsen told the meeting.

Key party policies, including stemming migration and opening the door to nuclear power, were passed by delegates with almost no opposition.
