History

Fair Go for Australians was founded by Sarah Game, who was elected to the Legislative Council in the 2022 state election as a member of One Nation. [1]

Sarah Game announced that she had left One Nation on 18 May 2025 to sit as an independent in South Australia's upper house, citing problems with the party's brand. [2]

The party was registered with the Electoral Commission of South Australia on 24 July 2025 as Sarah Game Fair Go for Australians [3] and was launched on 14 August 2025 by Game and Adelaide City councillor Henry Davis. [4]

Polices and stances

In December 2025, the party unveiled a policy to abolish local government councils. [5]

In September 2025, Game introduced the Termination of Pregnancy (Restriction on Terminations After 22 Weeks and 6 Days) Amendment Bill 2025 to the upper house, aiming to restrict access to abortions from 23 weeks onwards, [6] which was voted down 8–11. [7]

2026 state election

On 2 February 2026, former Adelaide Crows player Chris McDermott was announced as the party's lead candidate in the upper house for the 2026 state election, having previously been announced as the candidate for Dunstan. [8]

The party will be fielding 22 candidates for the 2026 lower house election and two candidates in the 2026 upper house state election. 10 days before the election, the party's lead upper house candidate Chris McDermott announced that he would defect to become an independent if he is elected. [9]
