The Restore Democracy Sack Dan Andrews Party, also known as Sack Dan Andrews Restore Democracy, was an Australian political party founded in 2022 by Tosh-Jake Finnigan, an openly transgender whistleblower over the Labor Party's so-called 'red shirts rorts' scandal.[1] The party was formed in opposition to then-Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews.[2][3]

History[edit]

The Restore Democracy Sack Dan Andrews Party was registered by the Victorian Electoral Commission as a political party on 28 October 2022, after applying for registration on 18 August 2022.[4]

On 16 November 2022, Australian Values Party leader Heston Russell leaked a video to the Herald Sun of him to talking to Glenn Druery about a potential preference deal. In the video, Druery also claims that he controls a number of minor parties and that Restore Democracy Sack Dan Andrews is "one of (his)". Finnigan denied the allegations.[5]

At the 2022 Victorian state election, RDSD received 0.83% of the statewide legislative council vote. Finnigan ran in the Western Victoria Region and was unsuccessful at getting elected.

In January 2023, Finnigan was elected via a countback to the Colac Otway Shire Council.[6]
