Our Plan for a Fairer, Freer & Better Australia
Explore our three signature commitments — and what they mean for you and your family.
Tax Back Guarantee
+ Cuts will be higher if inflation exceeds 2.5%
The Problem: The Inflation Tax
When your wages rise only to keep up with prices, you're no better off. But the current system pushes you into a higher tax bracket as though you are. We think that's unfair — and we'll fix it.
When We Start
From 2028–29, we'll index the tax-free threshold and the $45,000 threshold to inflation — protecting around 85% of all income earners immediately.
More Protection Over Time
From 2031–32, we'll also index the $135,000 and $190,000 thresholds — delivering full protection for every income earner in Australia.
Honest Government
If we want to raise taxes, we'll say so openly. We won't quietly take more from your pay packet through inflation. This reform forces honesty back into the tax system.

Kate's Tax Cut
Currently her buying power goes backwards by $6 after inflation and tax. Under our Tax Back Guarantee she gets $244 in Year 1, rising to $1,012 in Year 4.
Rob's Tax Cut
$244 in Year 1, rising to $1,012 in Year 4. We believe hard workers deserve to keep more of what they earn.
Vian's Tax Cut
$244 in Year 1, jumping to $1,248 in Year 4 when we also index the top two brackets.
Their Combined Cut
Geoff earns $90k (council worker); Sarah earns $30k part-time (childcare). Together: $308 in Year 1, rising to $1,277 in Year 4.
Putting Australians First
We will reserve access to 17 welfare payments and future NDIS eligibility for Australian citizens only — ensuring our safety net remains sustainable and trusted for those who've contributed to, and committed to, this country. If you commit to Australia, Australia will commit to you.
Migration & Housing Pledge
Our Migration Cap Commitment
Each year, we will tie net overseas migration to the number of new homes completed. If we build the homes, we can welcome the people. If we don't build enough, we won't keep bringing in people at a pace Australia can't handle.
We'll report on this publicly every year — full transparency and accountability.
- We'll only bring in as many people as we can house
- We'll tighten temporary migration
- We'll focus skilled migration on quality over quantity
- Annual public reporting to hold us accountable
Making Homes Cheaper to Build
We'll slash the National Construction Code — currently 2,350 pages — back toward 200 pages, as it was in 1988. Many requirements imposed in 2022 will become optional rather than mandatory.
- Step-free entry & accessibility features → buyer's choice
- 7-star energy efficiency, double-glazed windows → optional
- Shower/bathroom accessibility requirements → optional
- Estimated to unlock 120,000 homes over 10 years
- Gives buyers the power to choose a more affordable home
$5 Billion Housing Infrastructure Fund
Too many projects are stalled because basic infrastructure isn't in place. We'll establish a $5 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund to get homes built faster — in more places across the country.
- Funds last-mile infrastructure: water, sewerage, power, access roads
- Available directly to local councils and developers — no Canberra bottleneck
- 30% reserved for regional areas
- We estimate this could unlock up to 400,000 homes
Housing Fairness for Australians
Beyond migration and supply, we'll make sure housing support goes to Australians first:
- We'll ban non-citizens from the 5% Deposit Scheme
- We'll keep the ban on temporary residents buying existing homes until housing catches up
- We'll refocus skilled migration on genuine quality
- We'll publicly report our migration-to-housing ratio every year
Our approach is simple: only bring in who we can house; make homes cheaper to build; get infrastructure in the ground so homes can be connected.
