Policy Spotlight
The Federal Executive has confirmed the Party’s key policies for the 2019 Federal Election. These fall under two main categories: policies to support the family and to support the nation.
We’ll remove programs that push contested radical gender theory onto kids or that usurp parents’ consent or knowledge of their child’s medical care or treatment.
Families are the foundation of our society and human thriving. We will change the way the tax system unfairly and inequitably penalises families.
Families are the foundation of our society and human thriving. We will change the way the tax system unfairly and inequitably penalises families.
We have a plan for the long-term funding for infrastructure projects, which would reduce foreign debt and halt the sell-off of Aussie assets.
We uphold the dignity of all people and support life from conception right through to its very end.
Over 10,000 Victorians miss out on the palliative care they need. We will ensure that palliative care services are adequately resourced to eliminate this gap.
Current poker machine policies and practices exploit the poor, the lonely and the ignorant – we’ll fight to have them changed!
New dams and greater water allocations to farmers would strengthen the agricultural industry and make Australia the food bowl of Asia-Pacific.
Union membership fees should not impose compulsory political levies on workers. Donations to political parties should be voluntary.
We believe all Australians deserve access to cheap and reliable base-load power… and we know it’s possible.
