Independent EFF (Enterprise, Freedom, Family) was a minor Australian political party that was active between 1987 and 1999. [1] It was unsuccessful in electing candidates.

The party had links to far right groups such as the Australian League of Rights. Party leader Bryant would later resurface as a republican and supporter of Pauline Hanson. [2]
