Faceless men is a term in Australian politics generally used to refer to political party members who exert political influence over elected representatives of their party. Although some sources attribute its origin to 1963, it appears the term was used as early as 1957 to characterize the Australian Labor Party, which Prime Minister Robert Menzies successfully leveraged as an election tactic to discredit Labor.
