Australian Country Party

The Australian Country Party, now known as the National Party of Australia, is a political party that traditionally represents rural and regional Australians. It advocates for agricultural communities, rural development, and policies supporting farming, regional infrastructure, and economic stability in non-urban areas. The party often works in coalition with the larger Australian Liberal Party to influence national policy, emphasizing issues like land management, rural healthcare, and local industry. Its focus is on ensuring that the interests of those living outside major cities are considered in government decisions, promoting a balanced and sustainable approach to national growth.
