Rise Up Australia Party is a far-right political party in Australia. The party's policy platform is focused on nationalist and Christian conservative issues, such as opposing any spread of Islamic doctrine in Australia and opposition to same-sex marriage in Australia. The party was launched in 2011 by Pentecostal minister Danny Nalliah. Its slogan is "Keep Australia Australian".
The Rise Up Australia Party received 0.4 percent of the nationwide Senate vote at the 2013 federal election and 0.3 percent of the nationwide Senate vote at the 2016 federal election. It has one councillor in the City of Casey, Rosalie Crestani.
Nalliah launched Rise Up Australia on 22 June 2011. He had been a candidate for the Australian Senate in the 2004 federal election for the Family First Party but was forced to leave the party due to demeaning statements about minority groups. The launch date was picked as it was the anniversary of Nalliah's successful case in the Supreme Court. The party was launched with the help of Christopher Monckton, with Nalliah to run for a senate seat in 2013. Nalliah has declared that former Prime Minister Julia Gillard is "living in sin" for cohabiting with a domestic partner, while attacking former Greens leader Bob Brown for being an "openly practicing homosexual"; Nalliah has stated that he felt sick to the stomach watching Gillard and Brown shake hands.
