The Animal Justice Party (AJP) is a political party in Australia founded in 2009 by Steve Garlick.[3][4] The party was registered by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 3 May 2011.[5] The party is also registered in New South Wales, Queensland,[6] South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, and the Australian Capital Territory. The AJP is the first political party in Australia formed solely to advance animal welfare issues.[7][8]
One thing all AJP candidates have in common is they must be vegan or transitioning to veganism.
