Former DLP senator John Madigan has become the latest crossbencher to create a political party in his own name, saying voters are sick of the major parties' "spin".

The Australian Electoral Commission will advertise on Thursday that John Madigan has applied to register The John Madigan Manufacturing and Farming Party.

Senator Madigan said he had created his own party because of "increasing discontent" with mainstream parties, especially in rural and regional Australia and in safe seats, where voters feel their concerns go unheard.

"People are frustrated about what's going on in Canberra," Senator Madigan said.
