Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party is a political party in Australia[2][3] founded by Queensland senator Fraser Anning in April 2019. Anning was a senator for One Nation and Katter's Australian Party, and also sitting as an independent. The party intends to contest the 2019 federal election.[4]
History
Defection from One Nation and Katter's Australian Party
Fraser Anning stood as the second candidate on the One Nation list for Queensland at the 2016 federal election. After Malcolm Roberts, the first listed candidate of One Nation, was found during the 2017-2018 eligibility crisis ineligible because of dual citizenship, Anning was declared by the Court of Disputed Returns elected, replacing Roberts.[5] After a conflict with the party's chief of staff James Ashby over his choice of staff, Anning resigned from the party and was sworn in to the senate as an independent.[6] One Nation leader Pauline Hanson later disowned Anning, saying after his maiden speech that he did not reflect One Nation policy.[7]
Anning later joined Katter's Australian Party in July 2018.[8] During his maiden speech, Anning proposed a "final solution to the immigration problem" with a referendum and a "European Christian" immigration system.[9] Anning was expelled from Katter's Australian Party on 25 October 2018 after Anning expressed his views on "Non-European immigration", which Katter labelled racist.[10]
Party foundation
In January 2019, Anning applied to register Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party.
The National Party and the Australian Conservatives had objected to the name, arguing it was too similar to theirs and would cause confusion for voters. The Australian Electoral Commission addressed these objections that "there is not a real chance that an elector would be left uncertain about which name attaches to which organisation".[11][12] The AEC said the use of "Fraser" and "Anning" in the party's name was "sufficient to aurally and visually distinguish the party's name and abbreviation from other names and abbreviations on the ballot paper".
The AEC approved the party's registration on 2 April 2019,[12] after the application for formal abbreviation “Conservative Nationals” was withdrawn, in time for the party to contest the 2019 federal election.[3] Anning said he would be "announcing candidates across most lower house seats" and "running a Senate team in every state" for the election.
Ideology and policies
Anning himself has been broadly described as far-right, a nationalist and a right-wing populist.[13][14][15][16][17] Anning has repeatedly expressed opposition towards Africans[18] and Muslims,[19][20][21] and has called to "end all immigration from Muslim and black African nations".[22] The party also believes in The Great Replacement theory, calling to "preserve our ethno-cultural identity, or we will fast become a minority".[23]
The party's stated policies include:[1]
- Australia to be an English-speaking predominantly European Christian society; immigration to reflect this
- Traditional family values
- The right to own firearms and use them in self-defence
- Australia-first foreign policy and repudiation of coercive international treaties
- Creation of a not-for-profit government bank
