WHY WORK WITH US
Authentic Labour
We’re the real Labour party!
Value Human Life and Dignity
Our policies are built upon this key principle.
Here for You
We’re not dictated to by unions NOR by big business…
Protect Freedoms
We oppose the radical policies and agendas that erode fundamental rights and freedoms
Meaningful Work and a Humane Economy
We believe in building a humane economy where workers are valued…
5 BIG REASONS TO CHOOSE US
We’re an authentic labour party representing the traditional values and principles of the labour movement, which supports families, workers and communities as the foundations of our society and basis of all sound economic principle.
We believe in the intrinsic value and dignity of every human life, regardless of age or ability. No life is more trouble than it’s worth. Our policies are built upon this key principle.
Unlike the ALP, we’re not dictated to by unions. Unlike the Liberal Party, we’re not dictated to by big business. We’re free to make decisions and formulate policy that best serves the interests of Australian families and communities.
We believe that protecting freedoms of speech, religion and conscience is fundamental to ensuring a truly free and democratic society. We oppose the radical policies and agendas that are slowly eroding these rights across our society.
We understand the importance of gainful employment and the dignity of work. We believe in building a humane economy by supporting family-owned and cooperative businesses, and by ensuring that workers may themselves share in the benefits which they help create.
Policy Spotlight
Pro-family Tax Policy
Families are the foundation of our society and human thriving. We will change the way the tax system unfairly and inequitably penalises families.
Funding for Infrastructure
We have a plan for the long-term funding for infrastructure projects, which would reduce foreign debt and halt the sell-off of Aussie assets.
Enough Gender Nonsense!
We’ll remove programs that push contested radical gender theory onto kids or that usurp parents’ consent or knowledge of their child’s medical care or treatment.
Fairer Unions for Workers
Union membership fees should not impose compulsory political levies on workers. Donations to political parties should be voluntary.
Every Life Matters
We uphold the dignity of all people and support life from conception right through to its very end.
Access to Palliative Care
Over
10,000 Victorians miss out on the palliative care they need. We will ensure that palliative care services are adequately resourced to eliminate this gap.
Gambling Reform
Current poker machine policies and practices exploit the poor, the lonely and the ignorant – we’ll fight to have them changed!
Water for Farmers
New dams and greater water allocations to farmers would strengthen the agricultural industry and make Australia the food bowl of Asia-Pacific.
Affordable, Reliable Power
We believe all Australians deserve access to cheap and reliable base-load power… and we know it’s possible.
