Have you had an email, call or SMS from the Pirate Party telling you about Fusion, the new party which we’ve become a part of? Want some more information on what that means for the Pirate Party and our policies? To give you a quick overview, we’ve put together the information on this page. Fusion, of course, has its own website: fusionparty.org.au

If you’ve got more questions, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] or jump on the forum, IRC or Discord to be part of the conversations.

Five experienced political parties, each with deep special interests, are fusing to form something more powerful than the sum of our parts. A party determined to secure a safe climate and environment, a humanist society, and free culture – held together by science.

This fusion was initially driven by the ‘Party Integrity Bill’ introduced by LNP and supported by ALP and One Nation, that required minor parties to re-register with three times as many members. The Bill has turned out to be serendipitous – a catalyst for four distinct specialisations to merge and for Fusion to have a deep but far reaching policy platform.
We’re fighting back — small parties are under attack, so we’re becoming a larger party — broadening our membership base, geographical reach, and policy scope.

We are becoming part of:

A merger of the Science Party, Pirate Party, Secular Party, and Vote Planet.
Fighting the dystopia, corruption, and economic inequity of today’s politics, we bring our specialist focuses of the
climate emergency, unlocking the future, free culture, and secular humanism to the fore.

Solarpunks, farmers, rationalists, doctors, climate warriors, artists, makers, teachers, activists, ethical hackers, community workers,
culture jammers, extinction rebels, and public servants – all have combined to create a new light in the Australian political arena.

Fighting dystopia.

Fusing for a brighter future.

Fusion will create a bright future for all Australians.

 

Policies

While Pirate Party is merging to make up part of Fusion, our existing platform will remain the primary policy for the Pirate Party Branch of the new party. Below is a summary of where the policies of each merging party overlaps and where we gain strength by being part of this alliance.
