1997– · Australia · Right Populist · Electoral party · coding confidence medium
Each axis runs from −10 to +10, with zero a genuine mixed or balanced position rather than an absence of opinion. A score describes a stated position and a governing record; it is not a judgement of merit. What each score means →
Core principles
Immigration restriction, opposition to multiculturalism and net zero, protection of manufacturing and agriculture.
Economic model
Tariffs, agricultural subsidy, opposition to foreign land ownership, lower income tax.
Organisation of powers
Parliamentary, contests every election, has held Senate balance-of-power seats.
Reading note
An early instance of the pattern that later spread across Europe, and one of the few coded before the 2010s wave.
