Politics of Australia Political parties Elections

The Party! Party! Party! Party was a short-lived joke political party in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Its candidates—Amanda Call and Shane McMillan^[1]—ran only in the 1989 election for the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly, receiving a total of 979 votes (0.69% of the vote).^[2] It was created as a joke since the creators did not believe in self-government when it became legal in ACT.

As a result of the lax party registration laws that allowed this party and other similar parties (for example the Sun Ripened Warm Tomato Party and the ) to stand candidates, the electoral legislation in the Australian Capital Territory was changed in 1991 to provide that parties must have 100 members and a constitution before they could register.^[3] This stopped people from registering joke parties just for the fun of it.
