Direct Democracy Forum

Political Lobby Groups and Minor Parties

Australia

I have so far only included other parties that achieved 1% of the first-preference vote in the Senate ballot of the 1996 Federal Election. If there are any others that you feel should be listed, please contact me. A more complete listing of groups that fielded candidates in the 1996 election is at the Australian Electoral Commission. (Listing of any group does not indicate endorsement by the Direct Democracy Forum.) Overseas readers also, please submit the details of any of your local organisations. (Only those commanding noticeable political influence will necessarily be listed so please support your application with information about the level of influence or support that your group holds in your nation or state.
