The Australian Antipaedophile Party is an Australian political party registered with the Australian Electoral Commission. It was known as the Australians Against Paedophiles Party until 3 March 2016.
The party intends to focus on a single issue of child sexual abuse by advocating in the Australian Senate for the creation of a Royal Commission to investigate perceived failings in the Family Court of Australia.
2016 federal election
The Australian Antipaedophile Party nominated a total of four senate candidates (one each in New South Wales, Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania), and one House of Representatives candidate (for the Division of Robertson) in the 2016 federal election.
The South Australian Senate candidate, Ronald Waters, had a past conviction for being an accessory after the fact to two murders at a massage parlour in New South Wales in 1994 by Lindsay Robert Rose. The spent conviction would not disqualify him from sitting in parliament.
