No Mandatory Vaccination Party

The No Mandatory Vaccination Party was registered in January 2021 in preparation for the 2021 Western Australian state election.^[2] Cameron Tinley, the party's founder, had previously been fired from his job as a teacher at Atwell College for his refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19.^[3] The party won no seats at the election, but was a part of a small party alliance that used group voting tickets to get each other elected, resulting in the election of the Legalise Cannabis and Daylight Saving parties to the state's Legislative Council despite neither party earning more than 2% of the vote.^[4] The No Mandatory Vaccination Party themselves almost won a seat in the South Metropolitan Region, despite earning only 0.94% of the primary vote;^[5] they were only defeated due to the state Liberal Party preferencing the Greens over any of the 19 smaller parties part of the alliance.^[6]

In 2022, the party was de-registered due to a swathe of fake applications having inflated the party's members past the required 1500 members needed to be recognised by the federal government, with many of the fake applications originating from private school students aiming to troll the party.^[7][3] Tinley claimed that the party had "close to 3000" members before being audited by the government,^[7] and later that the party's website had been hacked resulting in the loss of the details of hundreds of members.^[3] The failure to acquire enough members before the registration deadline led to the party's members running nameless at the 2022 federal election.^[8]
