Ideology[edit | edit source]

The Health Australia Party has contested several elections since its establishment. In the 2016 federal election, the party fielded candidates in every state and territory. Despite not winning any seats, the party received a significant number of votes, demonstrating a growing interest in its health-focused policies.
Criticism[edit | edit source]
