The Federal Party of Australia (FPA), also known simply as the Federals, was an Australian political party based in Queensland.
The party was founded in May 1988 as a successor to the Political Reformation Council of Australia. It was registered with the Australian Electoral Commission in November 1991.[1] Their first candidate was Stan Germaine, who received 280 votes at the 1992 Wills by-election.[2][3]
The FPA was deregistered on 6 February 1997 after failing to endorse candidates at elections for four years.[1] The party initially remained active, including a plan to contest the 2019 federal election which did not eventuate, but faded away soon after.[4]
Party policies included introducing optional preferential voting for elections in the House of Representatives (replacing compulsory preferential voting).[4]
