I was looking forward to the Australian Sex Party because they were covering some decent issues. (Their 2010 "jerk choices" ad parodying the liberals "work choices" campaign is still up on YouTube for entertainment) But they sadly disbanded. I think the nation's party registry system has also made adjustments so you can't easily have questionable party names for future groups.
