At the 1983 federal election, the party ran two candidates in South Australia − Kerry Hawkes, who had 1.1% of the vote in Grey, and William Forster in the Senate, who had 0.1% of the vote.[5]
The party disbanded in the late 1980s, having not achieved any elected representatives.[2]
Later iterationsedit
Several other parties with the same name have been founded since the original disbanded, though none have contested elections or been registered.
A 2005 incarnation of the party claimed members in three states, but was not registered with the Australian Electoral Commission for elections because of its small size.[6]
On 5 November 2020, a third new incarnation was founded, basing itself on the 1975 platform of the Workers Party. In 2023, it changed its name to Liberty Australia as the Liberal Democratic Party had changed its name to the Libertarian Party.[7] As of 2023, the party is not registered with any electoral commissions, although it plans to contest the 2024 New South Wales local elections.[8]
