So I am really tired and so I am just going to finish this politics series off. The final nine will be explained today and so do not expect one on Thursday. I can hear some of your cheers already. Great, I feel like Daria saying everything in a monotone. Daria was actually a pretty good show, you guys should go check it out if you have not already. Anyway, getting back to politics. Let's get started! As it is late there will be no pictures today. Just words and politics.
The Shooters and Fishers Party is the voice of "hunters, shooters, fishers, rural and regional Australia and independent thinking Australians everywhere."
The Smokers Rights Party is one a whole-heartedly do not support as I do not support smoking in any way, shape or form. This political party believes that "Australian Smokers have been unfairly targeted by all major political parties." They basically fight for the rights of Australian Smokers as they see them.
The Socialist Alliance is an alliance (obviously) of socialist organisations and individuals within Australia. It was created by people who "saw an urgent need for greater left unity to fight attacks on the rights and living conditions of workers and the poor."
The Socialist Equality Party is a political party "of and for the working class. The SEP seeks not to reform capitalism, but to create a socialist, democratic and egalitarian society.
The Stop CSG Party is concerned about the devastating effects of coal seam gas and other unconventional gas mining. CSG stands for Coal Steam Gas.
The 23 Million is a political party of "fair-minded non-politicians who just want a better-run Australia." They are called The 23 Million to represent the 23 million Australian Population (which has since risen obviously).
The Wikileaks Party was set up by Julian Assange the founder and owner of the infamous site Wikileaks. It stands for "unswerving commitment to the core principles of civic courage nourished by understanding and truthfulness and the free flow of information.
The Uniting Australia Party is another one of the parties that plans to put everyday Australians back in power and into politics.
Finally, the Voluntary Euthanasia Party is a self-explanatory party created to "provide the choice and dignity that current legislation is denying the most vulnerable Australians." They wish to legalise voluntary euthanasia.
With so many parties is it not nice to see the end? See you tomorrow.

The Parties Go On
So we are now at Part 4 of this series which received a bit of a siesta over the past few days as time constraints and bad excuses got in the way. I like to think that this would prevent you from getting bored although politics is actually not that boring. I am going to reiterate the fact that if you have not seen some of the scenes in Parliament you have not witnessed one of the best (well at least most entertaining) moments of Politics. Anyway, continuing on with this series let's get straight to it! As there are only 18 parties left I am going to do nine today and another nine on Tuesday. So that will be why this post will be slightly shorter than the other ones in this series.
Let's begin with the Non-Custodial Parents Party (Equal Parenting) is only a small party but with members in all states and territories in Australia. It supports less government control over many aspects of daily family life. It particularly supports a number of policies seeking changes in the areas of family law and child support.
The One Nation party is a right-wing political party founded by the infamous Australia Pauline Hanson. It has received much unfavourable coverage earlier this year following an interview one of its candidates gave to Seven News which contained a lot of misinformation. The said candidate has since withdrawn from a political career. It has a long list of objectives I will not name out of the tedious nature of that list.
The Outdoor Recreation Party is a minor party in New South Wales. It represents the outdoor community and interests such as cycling, bushwalking and camping just to name a few. They are committed to less government control over outdoor recreation. They are very opposed to the Greens political party. So much so in fact that in 2013 they added to the end of their party name Stop the Greens.
The Palmer United Party is a new one founded only this year by mining magnate Clive Palmer. Among other things they plan to abolish the contentious Carbon Tax, revise the current refugee policy and create mineral wealth.
Finally, an interestingly named party for this post. Pirate Party Australia represents civil liberty issues. It focuses on copyright reform, internet freedom and ending censorship. It is also a new party having only been registered with the Australian Electoral Commission in January of this year.
The Republican Party of Australia is a party concerned with ending Australia's links with the commonwealth and become a republic. Basically it is what it says it is.
The Rise Up Australia Party is a socially conservative political party. It is focused on nationalist and christian conservative issues such as opposing the spread of Islamic doctrine in Australia as well as opposing Same Sex Marriage (if I could vote, I would not vote for them).
The Secular Party of Australia stands for secular humanist ethical principles. They aim to separate Church and State within Australia and promote secularism worldwide. They also stand for other things like human rights and social justice, the maximisation of civil liberties and to defend freedom of expression.
Finally, the Senator Online party has no policies but instead has pledged to conduct online polls for every bill that passes before senate. So in a way they stand for the representation of every Australian in parliament (well at least Senate).
Don't forget to check back on Tuesday for the final part to this series, see you tomorrow!
