Australian Labor Party party platform
Labor's Future Made in Australia agenda commits $22.7 billion over a decade to build sovereign capability, back Australian manufacturing and process more critical minerals onshore, guided by a National Interest Framework identifying sectors with comparative advantage or an economic security and resilience imperative.
Liberal Party party platform
The party's plan states a Coalition government would ban foreign investors and temporary residents from purchasing existing homes in Australia for two years, restricting foreign ownership of housing in favour of Australian buyers.
Victorian Socialists party platform
The platform proposes increasing the company tax rate to 50 percent, imposing criminal sanctions and jail time for multinational tax evasion and offshore wealth concealment, and a 10 percent tax on assets owned by foreign billionaires in Australia.
The Nationals party platform
The party's plan states Australia should make more of what it needs at home, protecting key Australian industries from unfair foreign competition and using every tool available to defend sovereign capability, including tariffs where necessary, and commits to making regional Australia a manufacturing powerhouse to build sovereign capacity and security.
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party party platform
The party's policy would ban any further sale of freehold farmland to foreign investors, limit leasehold farmland sales to 25 years, and legislate a definition of "National Interest" for foreign investment review based on national security, competition, tax and a character test. It states essential services including power, water, telecommunications, roadways and ports would be off-limits to foreign investors, and supports a ban on foreigners owning residential property.
Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party party platform
The platform states support for an economy that puts Australian interests and individuals first, drastic reduction of government debt to protect the AAA credit rating, and easing tax and regulatory burdens on small business. It identifies over-reliance on China for manufactured goods as a problem and calls for reducing market domination in retail sectors such as groceries, fuel and liquor.
Legalise Cannabis Party party platform
The party's economic policy encourages farmers to cultivate hemp as a renewable, sustainable agricultural resource, proposes start-up assistance packages for hemp-based production and manufacturing industries, and states legalising and regulating cannabis would bring one of the nation's largest cash crops under the rule of law, creating jobs and economic growth in the formal economy.
Katter's Australian Party party platform
The platform states that governments should provide and own essential services such as airports, water, electricity, gas, health services, road, rail and port networks, public transport and communications to enable Australian prosperity, and that foreign ownership or control of agricultural land, resources, corporations and the means of production should occur only when it is in the national interest and does not undermine or threaten Australia's independence and sovereignty.
Libertarian Party party platform
The party positions itself as pro-free-trade and opposed to protectionism, arguing the welfare of Australians is not improved by "xenophobia and irrational economics." It favours unilateral trade liberalisation over bilateral or multilateral deals, and supports relaxing foreign investment requirements and removing restrictions on foreign ownership.
Centre Alliance party platform
Supports "Australian Made" goods, greater government procurement of Australian-produced goods and services, a single federal authority to accredit "Made in Australia" labelling with truth-in-labelling rules, and more effective anti-dumping laws to prevent below-cost imports undermining local jobs.
Jacqui Lambie Network party platform
Campaigns under "Make Australia Make Again" to restart and back Australian manufacturing, strengthen foreign investment rules, diversify trading partners so no single country controls Australia's fate, and maintain sovereign capability in core industries such as steelmaking.
Democratic Labour Party party platform
The party bases its economics on distributism, described as a third way opposed to both laissez-faire capitalism and state socialism, in which trade and industry are controlled by as many private owners as possible for the purpose of national self-reliance, favouring local ownership and local production over overseas mass production. It supports a fair trade system giving the greatest benefit to Australian manufacturers and farmers and would limit imports from countries that do not provide basic workers' rights.
United Australia Party party platform
The platform proposes a 25% export licence on Australian iron ore and gas exports, with licence receipts isolated for repaying the national debt, and states Australia must refine its own oil and store fuel domestically. It also promotes downstream processing so more stages of the mining process happen on Australian soil, and opposes foreign government ownership of strategic assets.
