dbo:abstract
  • The Nuclear Disarmament Party (NDP) was an Australian political party formed in June 1984. It was founded by medical researcher Michael Denborough as the political arm of the Australian anti-nuclear movement, which had been active since the early 1970s. The NDP primarily attracted left-wing Labor Party voters who were disillusioned with Bob Hawke's pro-nuclear stance. At the 1984 federal election, the NDP polled 7.23 percent of the total Senate vote, electing Jo Vallentine as a senator for Western Australia. However, Vallentine resigned from the party before taking her seat, due to allegations of a takeover by Trotskyists affiliated with the Socialist Workers Party. The NDP's vote collapsed to 1.1 percent at the 1987 election – a double dissolution. Robert Wood was elected as a senator for New South Wales, but after less than a year in office was disqualified by the Court of Disputed Returns and replaced by Irina Dunn. However, Dunn was expelled from the party after less than a month in office, and like Vallentine served out the rest of her term as an independent. The NDP had no electoral success after 1987, and the 1990 election was the last at which the party ran a serious campaign. After several years of inactivity, the party was revived for the 1998 election. It attracted little support in its second manifestation, and was eventually formally disbanded in December 2009, when it voluntarily relinquished its registration with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). In the meantime, many of its initial members had either returned to the Labor Party or become involved with the Australian Greens. (en)
  • Il Nuclear Disarmament Party ( NDP ) era un partito politico australiano formato nel giugno 1984. Fu fondato dal ricercatore medico Michael Denborough come braccio politico del movimento antinucleare australiano, attivo sin dai primi anni '70. L'NDP ha attirato principalmente elettori del Partito laburista di sinistra che erano delusi dalla posizione filo-nucleare di Bob Hawke . Alle elezioni federali del 1984, l'NDP ottenne il 7,23 percento del voto totale del Senato, eleggendo Jo Vallentine come senatore dell'Australia occidentale . Vallentine si è dimesso dal partito prima di insediarsi, a causa delle accuse di acquisizione da parte di trotskisti affiliati al Partito socialista dei lavoratori . Il voto dell'NDP è crollato all'1,1 per cento alle elezioni del 1987 - una doppia sconfitta. Robert Wood è stato eletto senatore per il Nuovo Galles del Sud, ma dopo meno di un anno in carica è stato squalificato dalla Corte dei Controversi e sostituito da Irina Dunn . Tuttavia, Dunn fu espulso dal partito dopo meno di un mese in carica, e come Vallentine prestò servizio per il resto del suo mandato come indipendente. Dopo il 1987 l'NDP non ottenne successo elettorale e le elezioni del 1990 furono le ultime in cui il partito condusse una seria campagna. Dopo diversi anni di inattività, il partito si ripresentò per le elezioni del 1998 . Ottenne scarso sostegno nella sua seconda presentazione e alla fine è si sciolse formalmente nel dicembre 2009, quando ha rinunciato volontariamente alla sua registrazione presso la Commissione elettorale australiana (AEC). Nel frattempo, molti dei suoi membri iniziali erano tornati nel Partito Laburista o erano coinvolti con i Verdi Australiani. (it)
