Grey Power

Grey Power

Grey Power, an Australian political party lobby group, first registered in 1983 and contested two federal elections, both with little result. It was designed to represent the elderly vote, and advocating issues dealing with aged care and a mature perspective on national policy; hence the name "grey power".

WA result

Grey Power ran in the 1989 election, garnering 5.2 percent of the lower house vote.

A result

Grey Power ran as late as 1997 in the South Australian election, but only managed to receive 1.6% of the South Australian Legislative Council vote.
