Australian Labor Party party platform
Labor policy commits to reaching 82% renewables in the electricity grid by 2030, backed by gas, hydro and batteries, and sets a 2035 emissions reduction target of 62-70% below 2005 levels, supported by new transmission and storage investment.
Liberal Party party platform
The party's plan states a Coalition government would remove the legislated 2030 and 2050 net-zero emissions targets from the Climate Change Act, instead lowering emissions "as quickly and responsibly as technology allows" without mandated targets or imposed costs on families or industry, as part of a plan to lower power prices.
Australian Greens party platform
The platform commits to no new coal or gas mines, wells or power stations and no expansions of existing ones, a legislated 75% cut in emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2035, and a goal of 100% renewable electricity. It also proposes phasing out fossil fuel subsidies and thermal coal exports by 2030 and returning energy generation and retail to public ownership.
Victorian Socialists party platform
The party calls for 100 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030, a zero-emissions economy by 2035, bringing the energy sector under public ownership, an immediate ban on new coal mines, a ban on coal-fired power by 2030, an end to fracking and unconventional gas extraction, and a ban on new gas projects, alongside guaranteed alternative jobs for fossil fuel workers.
The Nationals party platform
The party's plan commits to a balanced energy mix of responsible growth in renewables, more gas, and zero-emissions nuclear energy replacing retiring coal-fired power stations at seven locations, stating this would deliver an energy system 44 per cent cheaper than a renewables-only approach; it also includes a National Gas Plan reserving gas for the domestic market and states coal and gas export industries will continue through to 2050 and beyond.
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party party platform
The party's policy is to abolish Australia's Net Zero by 2050 target along with associated subsidies, mandates and legislation, withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and abolish the Department of Climate Change and related programs and agencies. It states it backs coal, gas, hydro and nuclear energy to lower prices and secure supply.
Animal Justice Party party platform
The party's energy policy supports clean energy sources generally while stating fossil fuels (coal and gas) cannot be part of a final climate solution, but also states comparisons of energy sources should account for impacts on animals (e.g. land clearing, mining, wildlife deaths from wind turbines) rather than carbon emissions alone, noting solar has the least adverse consequences of current renewable options.
Family First Party party platform
Family First has called for a pause on net zero policy, stating it has driven up electricity prices and household costs, and supports using gas to firm electricity supply and lower power prices, unlocking gas reserves, and keeping coal-fired power stations open until viable, affordable baseload alternatives exist.
Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party party platform
Federal policy states energy policy should be centred on nuclear power and clean coal without subsidies, and opposes continued subsidisation of renewable energy while cheaper energy sources remain available. The NSW platform states support for exploration and development of coal and mineral resources as a source of cheap energy.
Legalise Cannabis Party party platform
Legalise Cannabis Queensland's energy policy, published on the party site, positions industrial hemp as a cornerstone of bioenergy, sustainable construction and regenerative farming, with stated targets including over 10,000 jobs in hemp energy, construction and farming, a 50% reduction in energy-related carbon emissions compared to 2025 levels, and 250,000 hectares of degraded land restored using hemp-based regenerative practices.
Katter's Australian Party party platform
The platform's Energy Policies support a diversified energy mix — including coal, nuclear, cogeneration, algae ponds, ethanol and biofuels — and criticise heavy reliance on solar and wind, arguing coal-fired power is markedly cheaper and more reliable and that large-scale solar panel manufacturing has shifted jobs overseas, particularly to China.
Libertarian Party party platform
The party calls for a "no bans, no subsidies" free-market energy policy, arguing government funding, ownership and regulation distort the market, and that all energy sources should compete on reliability and cost alone.
Centre Alliance party platform
States Australian energy resources, including gas, should be available to Australians before export; calls for changes to National Electricity Market rules and enhanced Australian Energy Regulator powers to curb "gold-plating" of electricity assets; and supports incentives for renewable energy research and regional manufacturing.
Jacqui Lambie Network party platform
Supports Tasmania retaining state ownership of Hydro Tasmania and expanding pumped hydro storage and a second Bass Strait interconnector cable to increase clean energy export capacity and generate revenue for public services.
Democratic Labour Party party platform
The party's energy policy prioritises the lowest-cost and most reliable supply and an energy self-sufficient Australia, supporting high-efficiency low-emissions (HELE) coal-fired power stations, a domestic gas reserve with an Australian price (opposing gas import terminals), and opposing heavy subsidies for wind and solar; it states the climate evolves through natural cycles and rejects claims that human CO2 emissions are causing catastrophic warming, opposing the net zero by 2050 target.
United Australia Party party platform
The platform commits to abolishing Australia's Net Zero emissions target and allowing all forms of energy generation to compete in the market, which it states will reduce energy costs and the cost of living. It proposes a 25 per cent export licence on gas sold overseas while exempting gas used for domestic power generation from taxation, to increase local supply and reduce electricity prices.
