Help put animals on the agenda in Government

Election Date Announced - SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER, 2026

The world is in crisis—war, climate chaos, and systems treating animals and humans AND ENVIRONMENT as expendable. The change we need starts in how we live, protect animals, and care for our shared home.

Vote for the Animal Justice Party – Animals. Environment. People.

Everything is connected. Cruelty to animals and destruction of nature harm us all. Governments shape how we build, move, and protect life. Animals must be central in those decisions.

Animals need dedicated advocates at the table. It’s super important that someone is there who will stand up for animals and ensure their wellbeing is considered in every policy and plan.

The Animal Justice Party is working to support compassionate individuals who want to create positive change through government.
