Our Policies

Every Australian will receive a Citizens Dividend set at the Henderson Poverty Line, paid automatically and unconditionally, replacing existing baseline welfare payments.

Protect LGBTIQA+ rights and ensure equal legal standing for all partnerships and families. End discrimination in adoption, healthcare, and legal recognition.

Move forward as one united country. Recognise First Nations peoples in the Constitution and implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full.

Create a Bill of Rights to protect fundamental freedoms in law, ensuring governments cannot erode basic rights without scrutiny.

Introduce an optional voting age of 16 (with compulsory voting remaining at 18) and provide electoral education in high school so young Australians can participate in shaping their future.

Support voluntary assisted dying for terminally ill Australians, giving people control over their final days rather than forcing unnecessary suffering.

Protect the freedom to criticise government and discuss the big issues in society. Maintain accountability for harmful speech; free expression is essential to democracy, but it does not mean freedom from consequences.

Fund teachers and schools properly so they can deliver high-quality education for students of all backgrounds and abilities. Every Australian child deserves a great education regardless of postcode or disability.

Make vaccines free and accessible to everyone, with requirements only for caring professions where vulnerable people depend on protection.

Make our health system cheaper and more effective by investing in prevention: mental health support, addiction services, and early-intervention programs that reduce long-term costs and save lives.

Remove profit-taking middlemen from the NDIS and strengthen disability support services so funding goes to people who need it, not corporate profits.

Stop forcing welfare recipients to use the Indue Card—make it optional only. Respect people's autonomy and dignity instead of treating them like children.

End Mutual Obligations and remove unnecessary red tape and tax traps in the welfare system. Streamline support through Universal Basic Income and end the punishing complexity that traps people in poverty.

Improve aged care standards and increase funding so every older Australian receives quality care with dignity—free from neglect and abuse.

Provide free or affordable childcare on a sliding scale based on income, removing financial barriers so parents can work without sacrificing their children's care and development.

Build a circular economy.

Build a green hydrogen industry.

Reform copyright for creators.
