About the scorecards

  • At the start of the election campaign we contacted all major parties and listed candidates in key electorates asking for their responses to key Alliance policies. Six of these policies are featured on the scorecards. In completing the scorecards, we took into consideration responses to our emails as well as previous public comments, voting patterns and policy decisions.

  • The scorecards have been prepared to raise awareness of the interests of animals and prevent animal suffering by summarising the position of political parties on the key animal welfare policy issues relevant to the charitable purposes of the Australian Alliance for Animals.

  • The Alliance does not promote or oppose political parties or direct people on how to vote.

  • The scorecards refer to the parties by the following abbreviations.  

    Animal Justice = Animal Justice Party
    Fusion = FUSION | Planet Rescue | Whistleblower Protection | Innovation
    Greens = Australian Greens
    Jacqui Lambie = Jacqui Lambie Network
    KAP = Katter's Australian Party (KAP)
    Labor = Australian Labor Party
    Liberal = Liberal Party of Australia
    National = National Party of Australia
    One Nation = Pauline Hanson's One Nation
    Sustainable Australia = Sustainable Australia Party - Universal Basic Income
