Pirate Party Australia is a political party in Australia that had traditionally represented civil liberty issues, but had also expanded into more traditional areas of policy.[4] It was a Pirate Party which was based on the Pirate Party of Sweden, and continued to develop a comprehensive policy platform since its formation based on the Pirate ethos.[5]

The party voluntarily deregistered on 28 April 2021.[6] It later merged with other parties to become the Fusion Party.[7]
