The Australian Protectionist Party (APP) is a minor Australian far-right anti-immigration party, focused on economic protectionism and white nationalism.[2] and opposes refugees and asylum seekers and often participates in rallies such as the one outside the Villawood Immigration Detention Centre.[3]Since its formation, the party has been active in protesting against the presence of asylum seekers and Muslims, and has also organised several protests against Sharia law being implemented in Australia.[4][5][6]

The party was registered as a federal political party with the Australian Electoral Commission on 18 January 2011.

History

On 10 September 2007, Andrew Phillips, described by the party as its national chairman and South Australian spokesman, formally announced the formation of the Australian Protectionist Party.[7] The formation of the party was described as a split from the Australia First Party.[8]

Darrin Hodges ran unsuccessfully as a candidate in the 2008 Sutherland Shire Council elections, coming last in his ward.[9][10] At the 2010 Australian federal election, Hodges and Nicholas Hunter-Folkes (Nick Folkes) ran a Senate ticket in NSW, running as independents, as APP was not registered in time. They received 1,501 votes or 0.03% of the vote.[11] Andrew Phillips stood for the seat of Mayo in South Australia.

The party was registered as a federal political party with the Australian Electoral Commission on 18 January 2011.[12]

In June 2012, Andrew Phillips was described as the party’s nominal leader, following the resignation of de facto party leader Darrin Hodges.[13] In September 2012, NSW chairman Nick Folkes unsuccessful contested the NSW council elections for the Municipality of Leichhardt, receiving 41 votes or 0.6% of the total vote for the ward.[14] In December 2012, Folkes resigned from APP to form Party for Freedom (Australia).[15]

At the 2013 Australian federal election for the Senate in NSW, APP received 2,424 votes or 0.06% of the vote.[16]

In June 2016, the party hosted a public speaking event in Perth [17] featuring former Labor, One Nation and independent MP Graeme Campbell, whom APP described as "the Father of modern Australian nationalism".[18]

APP did not field candidates at the 2016 or 2019 Australian federal elections.
