In 1944, the party was founded after a three-day orgy held in a small broom closet in Parliament House (a virulent pest native to the Canberra region). The meeting was called by the then-leader of the United Satanists Rights Movement, Robert Menzies. Menzies had already served as Prime Minister of Australia until his death in 1941, but he believed that death was no excuse to leave office and risk people fixing up the right-wing extremism he instigated. He made a deal with his lord Satan to return to the mortal realm, and terrorise the populace further.
