Party platform policies

Australian Labor Party

Cost of living

Labor has delivered energy bill relief payments, PBS medicine price cuts, and redesigned Stage 3 tax cuts weighted toward lower and middle incomes. Fair Work Act settings and annual wage reviews affect award wages. Additionally, Labor now supports a new Commonwealth-level gambling system, indicating a shift in approach to gambling regulation that may impact gambling harm measures and responsibilities of gambling companies.

Australian Labor Party

Cost of Living Relief

Deliver targeted cost-of-living measures including energy bill relief, cheaper medicines, tax cuts for working Australians, and implement a new gambling system at the Commonwealth level to address gambling harm.

Australian Labor Party

Tax and superannuation

Current Labor settings include the Super Guarantee rising toward 12%, Payday Super timing reforms, existing contribution caps, and the redesigned Stage 3 personal income tax cuts. Age Pension income and assets tests remain separate Centrelink rules. Recent statements indicate a shift in stance regarding superannuation access for housing, which may impact housing affordability for first home buyers.

Liberal Party of Australia

Cost of living

The Liberal Party’s recorded platform emphasises lower personal and business taxes, spending restraint, and cheaper energy through a broader mix including gas and nuclear, while also highlighting concerns about the long-term impact of Labor's policies on financial burdens for families and small businesses.

Liberal Party of Australia

Economic Responsibility

Pursue lower taxes, reduced government spending, and policies to support small business and private sector growth, while highlighting the long-term consequences of opposing economic policies.

Liberal Party of Australia

Small Business Support

Reduce red tape, lower compliance costs, and incentivise investment in Australian small and medium enterprises, while addressing the potential long-term financial impacts of opposing tax policies.

Liberal Party of Australia

Tax and superannuation

Liberal platform language emphasises lower income taxes and resisting measures seen as punishing self-funded retirees or higher super balances, while also highlighting concerns about the long-term financial impacts of Labor's policies on families and small businesses.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Cost of living

One Nation links cost-of-living pressure to immigration levels, fuel taxes and energy policy, while also emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in governance to maintain public trust. Detailed Commonwealth payment or tax-cut schedules for households are limited in our recorded rows.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Cost of Living Relief

Cut fuel excise, reduce power prices, and oppose policies that increase household energy and grocery costs while ensuring accountability and transparency in governance to maintain public trust.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Tax and superannuation

One Nation’s recorded stance opposes additional taxes on superannuation and retirees. However, recent statements indicate a lack of accountability for individuals in power, which contradicts their previous advocacy for transparency and governance. This divergence raises concerns about public trust and the integrity of institutions affecting everyday Australians, including farmers and small business owners.

United Australia Party

Economic Recovery

Stimulate growth through tax relief, infrastructure spending, and support for Australian manufacturing while addressing domestic economic challenges and promoting local priorities over foreign interests.

United Australia Party

Job Creation

Incentivise employers to hire Australians first, reduce reliance on temporary visa labour, and address domestic economic challenges to improve conditions for everyday Australians.
