Western Australia Party

[2] The party's ideological focus was a combination of centrism, populism and regionalism, drawing from the position of Matheson and John Forrest.

The party was reported to have received financial support from a group of local businessmen, with retired barrister and judge Peter Nisbet serving as a spokesman and another retired barrister Bevan Lawrence serving on the party's steering committee; Matheson also remained involved.

Nisbet stated that the party's "sole objective is to get a better deal with the GST and, secondly, a better share of defence contracts".

[9] As the party was not registered with the Australian Electoral Commission, Matheson contested the 2018 Perth by-election as an independent candidate.

[12] In 2022 former Liberal party member Anthony Fels announced he would be running in the North West Central for WAP.

Further policies include reform to the Western Australian Family Court and Local Government Systems.
