We are the Liberal Party. We believe in families – whatever their composition. Small and micro-businesses. For the aspirational hard-working ‘forgotten people’ across the cities, suburbs, regions and in the bush. We have 12 priorities to get our great country Back on Track, which are summarised below.
🔷 LOW INFLATION
We need to tackle inflation. Under Labor, Australia’s inflation has been consistently higher than most major advanced economies. Our economic plan will deliver low inflation, by cutting wasteful spending, reducing red tape and protecting consumers and small businesses from corporations or union bosses who misuse their power.
🔷 CHEAPER ENERGY
Labor’s ‘renewables only’ policy continues to drive-up power prices. Electricity and gas prices have gone up by 32 per cent (without rebates) and 36 per cent respectively (as at November 2024). Our energy plan will deliver a balanced energy mix, with more renewables, more gas and – in seven locations – replace retired coal plants with zero-emissions nuclear energy.
🔷 AFFORDABLE HOMES
We will unlock up to 500,000 new homes by funding essential infrastructure like water, power, and sewerage at housing development sites. We will incentivise first home buyers. With low inflation, we will reduce pressure on interest rates. We will rebalance our migration system and put a two-year ban on foreign investors buying existing Australian homes. We will stop the lawless CFMEU holding the building industry to ransom.
🔷 SAFER COMMUNITIES
Our plan will invest more in stronger defence and border security. We’ll tighten bail laws and deport non-citizens who commit violent crimes. We will work with the states and territories to implement tougher knife laws and tighter bail laws. And we’ll enhance online safety for our children.
