National Party of Australia

The National Party of Australia is a political party that primarily represents rural and regional interests. Founded in 1919, it focuses on agriculture, regional development, and the needs of country communities. Traditionally associated with the conservative side of politics, it often partners with the Liberal Party in coalition governments. The party advocates for issues like farming, land management, and infrastructure development outside of urban areas. Its support base includes farmers, small business owners, and people living in rural towns, aiming to ensure their voices and concerns are addressed in the national policy-making process.
