    “End Mass Immigration – Reform AU is a political party registered in Victoria. Registered in 2022 as the Companions and Pets Party, chairperson John Hutchison said at the time that the party was opposed to “animal liberationism”, and it has been described as against the Animal Justice Party. It is currently unrepresented in the Parliament of Victoria, failing to win any seats in the Legislative Council at the 2022 state election. Its registered name was changed to End Mass Immigration – Reform AU in December 2025.”
