I think it needs more fill-in options for some of them. Eg "Liberal Democrats" for Liberal Democratic Party, "Reason Party" for Reason Australia, "KAP" for Katter's Australian Party and "Lambie Network" for "Jacqui Lambie Network". Also some of the descriptions are a bit... biased?! But a good quiz!

Fair suggestions. I'd like a more specific example of a biased one just so I can fix it up. I know your probably referring to the Informed Medical Choices Party but tbh they appear to be an anti-vax nutcase party. Just cause you see stuff on Facebook doesn't make you informed. I'm pretty sure I did do KAP for Katter though. Also the ridiculous party in question was called the Pirate Party. Yeah the senate used to have some ridiculous parties.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix it up.

Clive Palmer voluntarily deregistered it. So it's now defunct and therefore isn't counted anymore.

You spelled "cannabis" wrong. It's "cannabis" not "cannibis". Also even though the UAP is deregistered, it still exists and Clive Palmer (the founder and chairman), Craig Kelly (the leader) and Ralph Babet (the party's only Senator, who is from Victoria) said they plan to re-register the party for the next election.

Interesting suggestions. But I won't re-add the UAP until they do decide to reregister, as they really have no seats in federal parliament, except for Ralph. I'll fix the typo though
