The WikiLeaks Party was a minor political party in Australia between 2013 and 2015.[2][3][4] The party was created in part to support Julian Assange's failed bid for a Senate seat in Australia in the 2013 election. The party won 0.62% of the national vote.[4][5] At the time Assange was seeking refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. The WikiLeaks Party national council included Assange, Matt Watt, Gail Malone, Assange's biological father John Shipton, Omar Todd and Gerry Georgatos.[6]

The party was heavily criticised for meeting with President Bashar al-Assad during a trip to Syria[7][8] and experienced internal dissent over its governance and electoral tactics and was deregistered due to low membership numbers in 2015.[9][10]
