Derryn Hinch's Justice Party is a minor political party in Australia, registered for federal elections.[1]
In October 2015, Hinch announced his intention to stand for a Senate seat as head of the Derryn Hinch Justice Party at the next Federal election. Hinch said he would remain as host of his weekly program Hinch Live until the election campaign, in a decision supported by Sky News Live.[2] Hinch stepped down from the program on 24 April 2016, telling viewers the program was entering either "semi or permanent recess" depending on the success of his party.[3]
The party was formally registered on 14 April 2016.[1]
