The National Party of Australia – Victoria has lodged an application with the Victorian Electoral Commission to change the formal registered name of our party to The National Country Party – Victoria.
I believe we are the one party that truly represents the interests of country Victorians now as much as ever.
Whether it’s jobs education agriculture or health – The Nationals are fighting to make sure country Victorians get their fair share.
With such a Melbourne-centric Labor Government our state needs a party that is dedicated to standing up for the interests of rural and regional Victoria more than ever.
I believe the title of The National Country Party would best reflect that goal and reflect our proud 100-year history in Victoria.
The Victorian Electoral Commission will now consider our application and a result is expected in coming months.
