The sacked Victorian branch of the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party (AMEP), which campaigned successfully for Ricky Muir to enter into politics, has had no contact with the Senator-elect since the election.
The former Victorian chairman of the AMEP, Scott McDonald, says there has been no sign of Mr Muir since Mr McDonald helped him win the Senate seat.
"Nobody's been able to contact him since the 10th of September," he said.
"We were banned from talking to him after the election.
"I've had no thank you for getting him into the seat. I've had no correspondence as to how he's going, if he's okay.
"To my knowledge he did not attend a meeting for newly elected senators last week. No one knows where he is, what he's doing or what's happening."
Mr Muir will represent Victoria in the Senate after receiving just 0.5 per cent of the primary vote.
But he will do so without any contact with the Victorian council, which was sacked on Sunday.
Mr McDonald stepped down as the Victorian chairman before the sackings.
The Federal Executive of the party sent notices to all members listing a series of breaches, including the unauthorised establishment of a social media presence and unauthorised media liaison.
Mr McDonald says 290 paid-up Victorian members were told about the sacking before the council was informed of its demise.
Mr McDonald says the Queensland national executive created a wedge in the party.
"Since the election everything has been in lock-down, and any attempt to be open and honest with people has been shut down," Mr McDonald said.
"The party was always based on the fact we were not politicians, we were attempting to become politicians in an effort to be open and honest, and to bring honesty back to policy," he said.
He says the members are now being controlled by Queensland.
"We must stick by our original values," Mr McDonald said.
"The minute you start locking people out, and performing secret strategic plans, you form a split in a party, and you can't have that, especially in a small group.
"As a Victorian party we've had nothing to hide."
Mr McDonald says it is unclear if Mr Muir will take up the Senate position, and believes should he fail to do so, the Queensland national office will nominate someone else in Victoria.
"Given the fact they have sacked everybody who worked so hard to get them there, that they've disregarded Victorian members, it's going to be difficult," he said.
"Things aren't looking too flash at the moment and time is ticking away."
