Love Australia or Leave is an Australian political party registered for federal elections since 12 October 2016.[1] The party platform includes opposition to immigration and Islam in Australia, and withdrawing Australia from the United Nations.

It was founded in 2016 by Kim Vuga who had appeared in a television documentary in 2015 called Go Back to Where You Came From which sought to expose ordinary Australians to the situations faced by refugees and asylum seekers.[2]

The party was registered in October 2016. Its founder Kim Vuga stood for election in the federal election in July 2016 as an independent candidate to represent Queensland in the Australian Senate. She used the slogan "Love Australia or Leave" which has become the name of her party. It intends to be registered and stand candidates in the 2018 Queensland state election.[2]
