Back in the 80's, a small movement known as "the Turnpikers" had pushed for annexation of the adjacent French Island to turn Phillip Island into the "Turnpike Republic". The movement was unsuccessful, however, there are still some people who follow that movement, however the estimated number is around 50 members, so the movement has 0 chance of succeeding.

On a different note, during the 08-09 Global Recession, there was a short-lived party that sprung up which advocated for Phillip island to rejoin Australia, however, the founder of the party was imprisoned for sexual misconduct and money laundering and the party died shortly after
