The Liberal Democrats and the Democratic Labour Party could now be potentially deregistered after Australia’s two political parties challenged the use of their names. The Australian Electoral Commission recently upheld the Liberal and Labor parties’ objections to the minor parties’ names. Separately, the Democratic Labour Party is appealing a similar AEC decision to uphold an appeal from the Labor Party over its name. Both minor parties claim they’re being unfairly targeted and threatened with deregistration, just months from an election. Its more than a fair claim as the Coalition and ALP see the writing on the wall despite their openly corrupt and nefarious methods in enforcing their duopoly.
