Imagine a world where animals and people live together in harmony with our planet. A world where we ensure the health of animals, as well as ourselves, and the planet we all share.

This is the world that the Animal Justice Party is working towards. To make it happen, we need political representation that stands up first and foremost for the animals, and also the people, and the places we love.

For too long, animal issues have been ignored by the major political parties. The Animal Justice Party was created to address these issues – to give a political voice to animals. Whether it’s through amending and strengthening laws in local government areas, state, or federal parliament – we seek to bring positive change to the way animals are treated.

We’re proud to offer our State election platform for improving, rebalancing, and enriching life for animals. It’s time to act – are you ready to be part of the change?

Animals participate in all the richness that life has to offer, just like we do.

They experience a range of emotions, feel comfort and pain, and form strong bonds and relationships with others. And just like us, animals deserve to live a life free from suffering and exploitation.

But when it comes to political decision making, animals are left behind by the major parties.

The Animal Justice Party is standing up for animals because they cannot stand up for themselves. We’re creating a world where animals are treated with compassion and respect.
