The Local Independent Party (TLIP or LIP) is an Australian political party that competes in local elections in New South Wales.[2]
Unlike many other local government political parties in Australia, the party competes in elections for several different councils.
History
[edit]The party was formed ahead of the 2017 New South Wales local elections. Two councillors who were formerly members of the Liberal Party − John Hugh (Parramatta) and Nasr Kafrouni (Cumberland) − joined the party.[3]
At the elections, the party received 0.65% of the total statewide vote but was not successful in getting any candidates elected.[4][5]
The party did not contest the 2021 New South Wales local elections, although is still registered with the New South Wales Electoral Commission (NSWEC) as of July 2024.[1]
