HEART Party

Summary

Website: heartparty.com.au
Social Media: FacebookInstagramTelegramTwitterYouTube
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.
