About the Classical Republican Party
Why Australia needs a Classical Republican Party
Trust in Australia's major parties is collapsing as power centralises and cronyism grows. A CRP would restore constitutional federalism, checks and balances, and limited government. It would devolve authority to communities, defend sovereignty and due process, and repeal failed laws rather than add new ones.
