"The United Australia Party" (political party)

The United Australia Party (UAP) is a political party in Australia founded in 1931 by Joseph Lyons. Its establishment aimed to unify various conservative factions and respond to the economic challenges of the Great Depression. The party held power federally in the early years, promoting policies around economic recovery and nationalism. Although it declined in influence after World War II, it has seen various iterations and re-establishments. The modern UAP, founded in 2020, advocates for policies such as protecting Australian jobs and sovereignty, emphasizing national interests and a cautious approach to globalism.
