David Pocock while nominally a party, is an independent who has set up a party just to ensure they can appear above the line on the senate ballot paper, but since I've set my standard for which parties I'll review as registered parties that actually have candidates on a ballot paper, he makes the cut. David has been a senator for the ACT for the last term of parliament, and was a bit of a surprise win due to the nature of the ACT's senate representation. He's been reasonably effective as an independent senator and policy wise I like most of what he's done, and if I was an ACT resident I'd be voting for him.
There is a second person on the parties senate slate, but given the ACT only gets two senators, there's zero chance the second candidate gets elected as well.
