21st Century Australia Party

[2] The party was founded in March 2013 by McIntyre, whose objective was to create "an abundant, prosperous 21st century economy, for all Australians to fairly share in the massive wealth our large nation (Australia) can provide".

[2] The party was launched at Glen Innes RSL on 22 April 2013 and aimed to field candidates in most of the 150 lower house seats of the 2013 Federal election,[3] but was unable to be registered before the deadline.

[5] Labelled a "controversial spruiker" by the ABC,[6] McIntyre was investigated by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) from 2002 to 2007.

[6][7][8][9] McIntyre founded the party in March 2013 and announced that he would challenge Tony Windsor for the New England seat.

McIntyre comes from a farming family in New England, New South Wales and owns several rural holdings in the area.
