Politics of Norfolk Island

Norfolk Island elects on territorial level a legislature. The Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly has 9 members, elected for a three-year term. The last assembly was the 14th, elected on 13 March 2013. On 17 June 2015, the Australian government abolished the assembly, ending self-government on the island. Norfolk Island Regional Council, a local government body with significantly-restricted powers, was established in July 2016 to perform local-level governance on the island.

The only political party on Norfolk Island is the Norfolk Island Labor Party, a wing of the Australian Labor Party, which is led by Assembly member Mike King. However, the Canberra Liberals, the ACT division of the Liberal Party of Australia, operates an interest council on the island.
