| Slogans: | Politics Leadership |
| Themes: | If it can be federalised, it should be. Serving and veteran military people deserve special treatment under law. Economic value is the most important kind unless we say otherwise. |
| Electorates: |
Upper House: New South Australia, Queensland, West Australia & Victoria Lower House: Blair, McPherson, Kooyong & Wide Bay |

| Slogans: | Citizens taking reponsibility |
| Themes: | Banks are bad unless they’re the ones we want. |
| Electorates: |
Upper House: New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria Lower House: Chisholm, Cunningham, Hawke, Lingiari, Mallee, Nicholls, Robertson & Sydney |
| Preferences: | Preferences now available here. Short and sweet: second place to Shooters, Farmers and Fishers, third to One Nation, fourth to the Greens, fifth to Reason and sixth to the Australian Values Party. So basically, a vote following this is going to help elect a Green. I would not have predicted that. |

| Previous Names: | One Nation Pauline Hanson’s United Australia Party |
| Slogans: | We’ve got the guts to say what you’re thinking If you want to change the government, change who you send there |

| Electorates: | Upper House: Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria & Western Australia
Lower House: Barton, Bass, Bendigo, Berowra, Blair, Bonner, Bowman, Braddon, Burt, Calare, Capricornia, Casey, Chifley, Cook, Cooper, Cowan, Cowper, Corio, Cunningham, Dawson, Dickson, Dobell, Durack, Fadden, Fairfax, Fisher, Flinders, Forde, Forrest, Fowler, Franklin, Fraser, Gippsland, Goldstein, Groom, Hinkler, Hume, Hunter, Indi, Isaacs, Leichhardt, Lilley, Lingari, Longman, Lyne, Lyons, Macarthur, Maranoa, McEwen, McPherson, Melbourne, Monash, Moncrieff, Newcastle, Nicholls, Paterson, Pearce, Rankin, Robertson, Scullin, Shortland, Spencer, Warringah, Wide Bay & Wright The website proudly proclaims that One Nation will be standing in all 151 Lower House seats across Australia, so presumably there are still some candidates to be announced. |
| Preferences: | One Nation’s How-to-Vote card is frustratingly opaque. Rather than name parties, it advises voters to vote for the alphabetical letter designated on the ballot. In Victoria, that means the Australian Values Party is number 2, followed by the Liberal Democrats and United Australia Party. Shooters, FIshers and Farmers, and Australian Federation Party round out the top 6. The other states have the Liberal Democrats at number 2, and IMOP gets a look-in in Queensland at number 5. The exception is Tasmania, who places Independents Day and Amadino ahead of the Liberal Democrats. In Western Australia, Australian Values Party is number 2. |

| Slogans: | Stronger Economy. Stronger Future. |
| Themes: | You can’t trust Labor Look at everything we’ve done for you (but not too closely) You can’t trust Labor |
| Electorates: | Upper House: All states Lower House: Almost all electorates |
| Preferences: | The Coalition’s preferences are an interesting balancing act. There’s the obvious pandering to Clive, with the UAP coming in at 2, followed by a desperate scramble to find fellow right wingers who aren’t batshit crazy. This leads to Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party getting the number 3 slot, followed by the Liberal Democrats at 4, the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party at 5 and the Australian Democrats at 6. UAP aside, these are among the more moderate parties to be found in the centre and right of our spectrum. It’s also notable that every last one of them is a past or current Parliamentary party, at least at a state level (in the case of the SFF). |
