FIX THE ECONOMY. PROTECT OUR WAY OF LIFE.

The Coalition will restore our standard of living and put Australians first.

policy_strong-and-prosperous-regions

Under Labor, Australians have experienced the worst collapse in living standards in the developed world.

Government spending is at a 40-year high outside the pandemic, fuelling inflation, higher interest rates and a cost-of-living crisis. Labor is leaving future generations with more than $1 trillion in debt. And this government is the highest taxing government in Australian history.

Our country needs change. Only the Coalition has the strong leadership, strong team, and strong plan to restore Australians’ standard of living and protect our way of life.

OUR PRIORITIES

Lower Taxes

We will stop Labor’s assault on aspiration by axing every one of Labor’s toxic taxes, introducing the Tax Back Guarantee, and backing small businesses that invest and create jobs.

OUR PLAN FOR LOWER TAXES

We will stop Labor’s assault on aspiration by axing every one of Labor’s toxic taxes, introducing the Tax Back Guarantee, and backing small businesses.

Labor’s Budget is an assault on aspiration, and under Labor, the cost of everything is going up. Anthony Albanese’s broken promises on capital gains, trusts, and negative gearing mean all Australians pay more.

Cheaper Power

We will deliver cheaper power and energy abundance, focused on results Australians can afford, not targets Australia cannot meet.

OUR PLAN FOR CHEAPER POWER

Australians are paying the price for Labor’s reckless energy and emissions policies.

Under Labor, power prices are far too high. The Coalition will scrap Net Zero and make Australia an energy superpower. We will deliver cheaper power and energy abundance

Less Migration and More Homes

We will link Australia’s migration intake to the number of new homes built, and we will overhaul our skilled migration program, bringing in the people with the skills that businesses desperately need.

OUR PLAN FOR LESS MIGRATION AND MORE HOMES

The Coalition will link Australia’s migration intake to the number of new homes built.

To free-up housing stock and to begin to restore the dream of home ownership, we will cap immigration numbers based on available housing.

A Coalition Government will overhaul our skilled migration program, bringing in the people with the skills that businesses desperately need.

Put Australians First

We will invest in Australia’s future and pay down the debt being left to the next generation of Australians.

OUR PLAN TO PUT AUSTRALIANS FIRST

Because of Labor’s out-of-control spending, Australians are paying more for everything due to high inflation and our debt is set to hit $1 trillion for the first time.

We will establish a Future Generations Fund to pay down Labor’s trillion dollars of debt and invest in long-lasting, nation-building infrastructure – roads, ports, energy and water.

Put Australians First

“Our vision is for an Australia where anyone, no matter their background, can dream big and get ahead through hard work.”

What’s Next

Our team is hard at work developing policies to benefit you and your family.

Keeping Australians Safe

Our first job is to keep you safe. The world is more dangerous now. So we will build a strong defence force that can act fast and hit hard. We will deliver AUKUS. We will guard our borders. And we will keep our streets safe from crime, terror and foreign threats.

Offer families choice

Families know what works for them. So we will give them choice. In childcare, we will back what suits each family, not just one type. In health, we will focus on you and your whole-of-life health. In aged care, we will give respect, care and dignity — and better value for taxpayers.

Raise education standards

Every child deserves a great education. We will get the basics right: reading, writing, maths and going to school. We will be honest about how kids are doing. And we will back trades and training, not just university. That way, every young person is ready for a good job and a good life.

Encourage work ahead of welfare

Work is the best way out of hardship. It gives people dignity. So we will reward those who work and try. We will let people earn more before their payments drop. We will back work and families over long-term welfare. No Australian should have to beg to get help.

Restore Australia’s self-confidence

We stand for national confidence. We are proud of our country: our history, our values and the things that unite us. We back the enterprise of our people. And we expect those who come here to embrace our way of life.

A stronger Regional Australia

Australia is stronger when our regions are strong. Regional Australia fuels, feeds and powers our nation and drives exports. We will back the towns, councils and industries that create secure jobs: with better roads, services, manufacturing, childcare and connectivity. We will establish a $20 billion Regional Australia Future Fund, protect the Murray–Darling Basin, and end Labor’s water buybacks that strip water from farms and towns.
