Biography/History: The Confederate Action Party of Australia was an Australian political party at the far right of the political spectrum. It appeared in the 1992 Queensland state election, but achieved only 1.4 percent of the statewide vote and was unable to win any seats. It also contested the 1993 Australian federal election in a number of states. The Confederate Action Party was often accused of extremism and racism. The party sometimes used the slogans "One flag One Nation" and "We are One Australia – One Nation". The remnants of the party were part of the forces that later joined as One Nation under disendorsed Liberal Pauline Hanson.
