The Australian Federation Party (AFP), also known as AusFeds and formerly known as the Country Alliance and the Australian Country Party, is an Australian political party. Founded in 2004 by four rural Victorians,[1] the party lodged its initial registration with the Victorian Electoral Commission on 15 August 2005.
In 2020, the party changed its name to the Australian Federation Party,[6] and is currently registered to contest elections in New South Wales and the Northern Territory[7][8] as well as at federal elections.
