Election Policy Platform
AJP has developed a number of policies we are taking to the 2025 federal election. View our policy platform here.
Candidate Nominations Open
Running as a candidate is an incredible opportunity to put your passion for animals into action. Our Victorian and NSW elected representatives are already taking huge steps forward for animals, holding the government to account, and introducing bills to end animal cruelty. In the upcoming federal election, we are in a position to win our first senator in the Parliament of Australia.
Now is a crucial opportunity to put animals on the political agenda, and we need passionate, dedicated animal advocates like you to step forward as candidates for the Animal Justice Party. By running, you can help drive real change on key issues, including:
- Ending factory farming—end the cruelty and suffering of animals in intensive industrialised farming systems.
- Keeping and extending the live export ban—ensure the live sheep export ban remains in place and expand it to stop ALL live export.
- Introducing Veticare—provide affordable and accessible veterinary care.
- Protecting our iconic wildlife—stop the commercial slaughter of kangaroos.
We are particularly focused on the electorates of:
- Sturt
- Boothby
- Spence
Regardless of where you live in South Australia, we encourage you to apply! Being an active candidate for the Party will require a dedicated 2–5 hours per week, but this will increase the closer we get to the election. We completely understand that it can feel daunting running as a candidate, but you’ll be surrounded by an experienced team providing ongoing guidance and support. Apply as soon as possible to maximise your chance for preselection.
Donate to our Federal Election Campaign
Your financial contribution helps us fight for animals. The Animal Justice Party relies on regular donations to be able to run in federal elections. Your generosity will help us to increase our reach in the community and the number of votes we receive, which puts pressure on the major parties to make positive legislative changes for animals.
Volunteer for AJP at the Federal Election
Our presence is truly felt in the community when our army of volunteers promotes AJP. We have multiple roles available for the federal election, such as building A-frame signs, designing flyers or writing letters. Of course, we can always accept more volunteers to hand out how-to-vote cards at polling places.
