Animal Justice Party Information

The Animal Justice Party is the national voice for animals in Australian politics, with 4 elected representatives in VIC & NSW State Parliaments and Councils. We give a political voice to those who have none – we pursue the vital issues of animal protection through the Australian Parliamentary System by: + Actively contesting elections, thereby demonstrating that voters care about animal issues; + Lobbying for the adoption of animal-friendly policies by other political parties; and + Providing a political focus for the many animal issues that other parties ignore. The Animal Justice Party actively campaigns at a government policy level against animal atrocities relating to wildlife destruction, factory farming, live export, companion and domestic animal abuse, and the use of animals for sport and entertainment. We advocate for the toughening of animal protection laws, an increase in penalties for convicted animal abusers, regulation and restriction in the sale and use of companion animals, and for enhanced education in the treatment of animals. We believe that through the formation of the Animal Justice Party, and with the support of the many like-minded, concerned animal lovers (and voters) throughout Australia, real and urgent changes to the way in which animals are treated can be made.
