[1] People Power released their anti-gambling policy on 4 September 2006 which aims to attack the social problems associated with compulsive gambling.

The policy aims for an end to the commercial use of Poker Machines in Victoria by 2012.

The party was first established in 2000 by Vern Hughes and Crikey founder Stephen Mayne, only to be suspended at the end of 2001.

A member of People Power, Deborah Locke, was one of the candidates for the 2005 Werriwa by-election that was caused by the sudden resignation of Mark Latham from parliament.

However, People Power did not have official party status at the time and she was required to stand as an independent candidate.
