The First Nations Party (FNP; registered with the Australian Capital Territory Electoral Commission under the name First Nation Party) is an Australian political party based in the Australian Capital Territory, led by Paul Girrawah House.[1][2]
The party applied for registration with Elections ACT on 10 July 2024 and was registered 20 days later on 30 July in order to contest the 2024 ACT election.[3][4]
House, the son of elder and activist Matilda House and a prominent spokesman for the Ngambri people,[5][6] was partly inspired to register a party in the Australian Capital Territory because it was the only state or territory where a majority voted "Yes" in the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum.[7]
