We will restore our standard of living and put Australians first.
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 Liberals and Nationals have the strong leadership, strong team, and strong plan to restore Australians’ standard of living and protect our way of life.
“Our vision is for an Australia where anyone, no matter their background, can dream big and get ahead through hard work.”
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.
Australians are paying the price for Labor’s reckless energy and emissions policies.
Under Labor, power prices are far too high. We will scrap Net Zero and make Australia an energy superpower. We will deliver cheaper power and energy abundance.
The Liberals and Nationals will cut migration and raise standards, while keeping migration below 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.
We will overhaul our skilled migration program, bringing in the people with the skills that businesses desperately need.
Because of Labor’s out-of-control spending, Australians are paying more for everything due to high inflation and our debt has 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.
Our team is hard at work developing policies to benefit you and your family.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Labor is crushing small business with higher costs, higher taxes and more red tape.
The Liberals and Nationals will cut taxes, slash red tape and get small business back on its feet.

Labor want small businesses to cough up, shut up, and close up. It’s an insult.
My team has worked in small businesses. We know the challenges you’re facing and we will fight for you.
We will axe all of Labor’s toxic taxes. We will stand with you and back you in. We will reward your hard work and aspiration.

Labor`s Small Business Minister Anne Aly doesn`t respect small business.
Even her own colleagues question her ability to do the job.
Oct 13
Yes, this is Labor’s Small Business Minister. She sits in the Treasury portfolio. The one responsible for the ATO and tax policy. If she’s listening to small businesses, why did the ATO ban credit card payments? Why more taxes on small and family business?
Oct 12
How hard is it to answer a question like that?
Oct 12
Anika Wells has no respect for taxpayers` money.
Oct 12
Even Labor MPs admit their own Small Business Minister doesn`t understand small business.
The Liberals and Nationals believe small businesses deserve a government that respects them and will back them, not hold them back.
Oct 12
Over 50,000 businesses have gone bust since Labor came to power.
Small businesses are being squeezed by power bills, hit with new taxes they never voted for, and blindsided by a credit card ban they never saw coming.
Australians who have a go deserve better.
When will this Prime Minister start listening and stop waging war on small business?
Oct 12
Labor didn`t consult on its cut to the private health rebate for seniors, and now its own health department says the impact will be almost double what Labor promised.
Labor must scrap this damaging policy.
Oct 12
Labor should be backing the people who build our economy, not making their lives harder.
Oct 12
Working at a birthday party? Anika Wells` explanation doesn`t stack up.
Oct 12
Labor treats small businesses like an ATM.
The Liberals and Nationals respect small business and have a plan to cut taxes, slash red tape and back small business to grow.
Oct 11
Anika Wells has done an Albo about spending taxpayers money. Anthony Albanese says he`s set a standard for ministers. So why won`t he sack her? Because he`s weak.
Oct 11
Back to Canberra for Parliament tomorrow, so here’s some of what I got up to during the week.
Oct 11
We need to get rid of this terrible Labor Government.
Oct 11
Small businesses deserve a Government that will treat them with respect and back them in.
