[16][17] Trumpet of Patriots was formed in 2021 but was unable to achieve AEC registration on its own, and it merged with the Federation Party in 2024.

[18] In February 2025, Clive Palmer joined Trumpet of Patriots after he was unable to re-register the United Australia Party (UAP) for the 2025 election.

[22][23] At the 2006 Victorian state election, the party contested the three rural upper house regions, receiving 13,329 first preference votes and finishing in ninth place statewide.

[24] In the Western Victoria Region, preferences from the Country Alliance and the Labor Party flowed to the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) through group voting tickets, resulting in DLP lead candidate Peter Kavanagh winning the region's fifth and final seat.

[27][28] After being registered with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) in 2011, the party contested the 2013 federal election in several Victorian lower house seats, as well as fielding Senate candidates in South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria.

[38][39] In August 2018, the party applied to the AEC to change its name to the Australia Party/Give it Back, but withdrew the application before processing was completed.
