Sun Ripened Warm Tomato Party
- Sun Ripened Warm Tomato Party
The Sun-Ripened Warm Tomato Party is a joke party that stood candidates in the first Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly elections in 1989. It received 1.17 percent of the vote and its preferences went to elect Residents Rally candidates to the Assembly. As a result of the lax party registration laws that allowed this party and other similar parties (for example the Party! Party! Party! and the Surprise Party) to stand candidates, the electoral legislation in the Australian Capital Territory was changed to provide that parties must have 100 members and a constitution before they could register.
