Most ran last or second last. In the Upper House, there was a very modest increase in the vote, which remains at about 1\/2 of 1%. The ON brand has lost almost all of its lustre, and it&#8217;s likely that the party will continue to bleed into other groups such as AF or APP, especially as it no longer has any sitting members in any Parliaments. Further, the success of several independent rural candidates may inspire others to shed the brand that was once a benefit but now appear to be more of a burden to racial conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>AF fielded a handful of candidates, as did APP. Like ON, none achieved much more than expected.<\/p>\n<p>(NB. All results are preliminary.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Australia First<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AF had four candidates in the Lower House: Terry Cooksley in <a href=\"http:\/\/vtr.aec.gov.au\/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-15508-111.htm\">Chifley<\/a>, Tony Pettitt in <a href=\"http:\/\/vtr.aec.gov.au\/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-15508-122.htm\">Greenway<\/a>, Mick Saunders in <a href=\"http:\/\/vtr.aec.gov.au\/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-15508-128.htm\">Lindsay<\/a> and Alex Norwick in <a href=\"http:\/\/vtr.aec.gov.au\/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-15508-209.htm\">Deakin<\/a>. Cooksley received 943 votes (1.17%) and came last, Pettitt got 780 votes (0.98%) and placed 7th; Saunders scored a little higher with 975 votes (1.17%) in a smaller field, coming second last, while Norwick came last in his competition, getting 295 votes (0.37%) &#8212; thus proving to be even less popular than the free market fanatics in the LDP.<\/p>\n<p>In the Senate contest in QLD, veteran right-wing agitators Peter Schuback and Nick Maine gained 9,680 votes (0.40%) &#8212; more than doubling the Socialist Alliance vote (3,806 votes) and rivaling the Christian fundamentalists of the Christian Democratic Party (10,499 votes) in popularity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Australian Protectionist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The APP contested one Lower House seat in South Australia. Party Chairman Andrew (James) Phillips scored 993 votes in the contest for <a href=\"http:\/\/vtr.aec.gov.au\/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-15508-188.htm\">Mayo<\/a>, or 1.08%. Phillips was one of two nominally Independent candidates in the seat, the other being Bill Spragg of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stoppopulationgrowthnow.com\/\">Stop Population Growth Now Party<\/a>. Spragg got 2,404 votes (2.62%); both Phillips and Spragg managed to overcome the Australian Democrats (948 votes) and The Climate Sceptics (655 votes).<\/p>\n<p>In the Senate contest in NSW, Darrin Hodges and Nick Folkes pledged to protect Australia from Communists, Islam, Greens, Muslims, homosexuals, followers of Muhammad and the Australia First Party.
