| Lower House Electorates: | Adelaide, Bennelong, Berowra, Cowper, Dunkley, Hindmarsh, McEwen, Makin, Melbourne & Wills |
| Preferences: | Not yet provided, but their website does give this statement of intention regarding them: Fusion will recommend preferences based on other candidates’ alignment with our vision and principles. Fusion aligns with other parties that value action on the climate emergency, integrity in politics, pragmatic solutions to a stronger economy, justice, equity, and social responsibility. It’s fair to say that we do not regard the current government as good or effective, and have created the party to provide voters with an alternative that reflects their views. |

| Previous Names: | Informed Medical Options Party & Involuntary Medication Objectors (Vaccination/Fluoride) Party |
| Slogans: | Real Change Needs a Brave HEART Issues at the HEART of All Australians |
| Themes: | Anti-vaccine, pro “natural” therapies, and just a whiff of conspiracy theory. |
| Upper House Electorates: | Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland & Victoria |
| Lower House Electorates: | Bennelong, Canberra, Eden-Monaro & Lindsay |
| Preferences: | The HEART Party is a member of the Australia First Alliance group of far-right parties. Untangling the preference swaps in this Alliance is a nightmare, and Great Australian Party spokesperson William Bay’s accusation that the Libertarians have done secret deals with the Liberal Party has seen several vocal supporters hurrying to Instagram and Facebook to post videos exhorting followers of HP to abandon the Libertarians. At this point, all I can tell you with any certainty is that – inexplicably – HP is advising voters to preference People First ahead of their own candidates. |
