Derryn Hinch's Justice Party, also known as the Justice Party, was a political party in Australia, registered for federal elections since 14 April 2016.[7] The party was named after its founder, Derryn Hinch, an Australian media personality.

The party won a single three-year term in the Senate at the 2016 federal election, after achieving 6.05% of the first-preference votes in Victoria, though lost the seat in 2019. It also was registered by the Victorian Electoral Commission in May 2018[8] and ran candidates in the 2018 Victorian state election, three of whom were elected. No Justice Party candidates were re-elected at the 2022 Victorian state election.

In March 2023, Hinch announced that the party would be dissolved following poor election results.[9][10][11]

Background

Hinch announced his political ambitions in October 2015, and at that stage remained host of his weekly program Hinch Live, in a decision supported by Sky News Live.[12] Hinch stepped down from the program on 24 April 2016, telling viewers the program was entering either "semi or permanent recess" depending on the success of his party.[13] The Justice Party's election platform is anti-paedophile, tough on crime, and in favour of stricter parole and bail conditions.[1][2]

Policy platform

Focusing on reforms to the justice system, Derryn Hinch's Justice Party believed in a hard-line law-and-order approach. The party campaigned on prioritising jail sentences over rehabilitation and bail, as well as tougher restrictions on parole. Anti-paedophilia formed another large part of the party's ideology, owing to Hinch's background in naming alleged sexual offenders.

Derryn Hinch's Justice Party's advocated for longer sentences for violent crimes and further tightening of bail and parole laws. The party also supported ending the live export trade and establishing a national public register of convicted sex offenders.[14]

According to The Age, between November 2018 and November 2021, the Derryn Hinch's Justice Party's Legislative Council members voted with the Andrews Government's position 53.9% of the time.[15]
