The Great Australian Party (GAP) is a right-wing political party in Australia. The party was formally registered by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 7 April 2019[3] and is associated with former senator Rod Culleton who had been elected in the 2016 Australian federal election as a senator for Western Australia, but subsequently found to have been ineligible and was disqualified.[4]
