Getting the budget under control is the first step to rebuilding a strong economy. We will stop the waste and reduce debt so Australia can grow with confidence.
A stronger economy means secure jobs, stronger businesses and the capacity to fund the essential services Australians rely on. It rewards effort, supports enterprise and backs families who are working hard to get ahead.

Better budgeting is how we bring down inflation.
Remember: when Labor spends, prices rise, and you pay.
Economic discipline is how we deliver personal incomes tax cuts, reduce waste, pay back the debt and guarantee the essential services Australians rely on.

Lower taxes is a foundation of the Liberal Party.
It’s a promise we make to Australians that we will respect their hard work and let them keep more of what they earn.
Under my leadership, we are restoring that promise by lowering taxes and reining in wasteful spending.
That’s how we get the economy under control.

Fixing the budget will take the pressure off families.
Lower taxes will let Australians keep more of what they earn.
Affordable energy will keep bills low and keep the lights on.
And stronger communities will make every Australian feel safe and secure – as they should.
These are the priorities my team are committed to deliver.

Aspiration sits at the heart of the Australian promise. If you work hard, play by the rules, do your best for your kids and give back to your community, you should be able to build a better life for your family.
That belief was shaped by my own journey. I came to this country as a migrant, grew up in regional Australia, worked as a pilot, a cook and a roustabout, and carried those lessons with me into public life. They taught me that effort matters and that opportunity should never be out of reach.
Today, too many Australians feel that promise slipping away. Families are working harder but falling behind. Our task is to fight for them. We will hold the Government to account for the pressures facing households, and we will offer a clear alternative that restores reward for effort.
An Australia with lower personal income taxes, less red tape and strong communities. An Australia that is safe, confident and full of opportunity. That is the country I believe in and will always stand up for. For now, and for future generations.

Every minute Australians are paying $50,000 just for the interest on Labor’s debt.

The Albanese Labor Government has failed on the economy, failed on the cost of living and failed to keep Australians safe.
Every time Australians look at their mortgage, their grocery bill or their power bill they see the result of a weak Prime Minister who has lost control of the economy. Higher taxes, more debt and more pressure on families is the legacy of this government.
We will take the pressure off families, fix the budget, and keep Australia safe.

Just over an hour ago, I had the privilege of meeting with President Isaac Herzog of Israel to discuss how we can work to strengthen our alliance.
President Herzog’s visit to Australia is an important opportunity to reset and strengthen a strained bilateral relationship. At moments like this, mature leadership calls for cooperation, respect and a reaffirmation of shared democratic values. This visit provides a constructive platform to rebuild trust and deepen engagement.
It is deeply disappointing to see protests surrounding this visit in the aftermath of a national tragedy. While peaceful protest is a democratic right, the timing and tone of these demonstrations risk compounding division at a moment that calls for unity and reflection.
The focus right now should be on supporting victims and their families, rejecting antisemitism in all its forms and reinforcing the social cohesion that underpins our nation. That’s what we’re determined to do.

Labor has received $7 million from the CFMEU since Albanese has been leader.

Labor is laying the groundwork for a new housing tax and the Treasury Secretary has now all but confirmed it.
Australians have seen this play before. Jim Chalmers was the architect of $387 billion in higher taxes in 2019, including a housing tax that voters rejected.
This would be another broken promise from a government that has already tried to increase taxes on superannuation. Instead of doing the hard work to rein in spending, Labor is once again looking to Australians’ pockets.
The Coalition believes in lower, simpler taxes that reward effort, encourage investment and help more Australians get ahead. When Labor spends more, Australians pay more.

These shocking allegations demand immediate answers from the Albanese Government.

Violence and unrest have been allowed to fester and Australians are rightly concerned about their safety.
The response to the Bondi tragedy left many people feeling let down at a time when the country needed strength and clarity. A safe nation is the foundation for everything else. Australians cannot build their lives with confidence if they do not feel secure in their own communities.
Our commitment is firm:
🔵 Crack down on antisemitism
🔵 Tackle violent extremism
🔵 Take strong action to fight terrorism
🔵 Secure our borders to protect Australians
Protecting Australians and defending our way of life is a government’s first responsibility. That is the standard we will uphold.

Labor has lost control of the budget and Australians are seeing it in their bills.
When Labor spends, prices rise, and you pay through higher power bills, mortgages and everyday costs.
Our approach is clear:
🔵 Respect taxpayer money
🔵 Rein in reckless government spending
🔵 Reduce the national debt
🔵 Restore discipline to the budget
Stronger budget management takes pressure off families, steadies the economy and helps get Australia moving again. That is the responsible path forward.

We are focused on easing the squeeze on Australian families.
After years of rising costs, households are paying more for groceries, power, rent and mortgages. Reckless government spending has added to inflation and made it harder for families to get ahead. Australians deserve leadership that understands the pressure at the kitchen table and is determined to relieve it.
Our plan is practical and disciplined:
🔵 Cut income tax so Australians keep more of what they earn
🔵 Rein in government spending to bring inflation under control
🔵 Deliver more affordable energy with responsible emissions reduction
🔵 Cut red tape to back small business and create jobs
A stronger economy means stronger families, secure jobs and more opportunity. That is the future we are determined to build.

After nearly four years of Labor, Australians are paying the price.

There`s been no justice for Holly, Bianca and their families.
Those responsible for their deaths in Laos from methanol poisoning received fines of just $185.
That’s it. That’s their punishment for killing Holly, Bianca, and four other tourists in November 2024.
Holly and Bianca deserve justice, their families deserve answers and Australia should have done everything possible to deliver that.
The Prime Minister should join government officials and apologise today and commit to doing something about this.

Under Labor, we have experienced the largest decline in living standards in the developed world.
