The Confederate Action Party of Australia (CAP) was an Australian far-right political party which first appeared in the 1992 Queensland state election. Its 12 candidates polled an average of 10.13% in the seats they contested.[2] Overall, CAP achieved 1.4% of the statewide vote and did not win any seats. The party was registered on 10 September 1992 with the Australian Electoral Commission[3] and contested the 1993 Australian federal election in a number of states. It was deregistered on 29 July 1993.[3] and collapsed in August 1993 amid allegations of financial impropriety, vote rigging, infighting and fraud.

Tony Pitt, one of the party’s candidates, became the secretary of One Nation’s Maryborough branch. Another CAP candidate, Bruce Whiteside, founded the Pauline Hanson Support Movement in 1996, which was used by Hanson to establish One Nation in April 1997.[4] Santo Ferraro, the CAP’s candidate in the 1993 federal election, then stood in a number of elections for One Nation.[2][5]
