Immigration party platform
States that immigrants have played a critical role in building Australia and supports continuing safe, orderly immigration, particularly of younger skilled families and investors; proposes a special visa category to encourage investors to settle in areas of low population and economic growth.
Economic nationalism 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.
Foreign policy & aid party platform
States defence strategy should be based first and foremost on Australia's needs, that defence procurement should be overhauled to recognise the economic and strategic benefits of local manufacture, and that Parliament should have a formal role in approving decisions to commit troops overseas.
Drugs & law and order party platform
States personal drug use should be treated primarily as a health issue, with well-funded (and in some circumstances mandatory) rehabilitation, alongside modified trafficking legislation enabling rapid asset seizure and improved prison rehabilitation programs.

Calls for immediate implementation of the Productivity Commission's recommended $1 maximum bet per spin and $120 hourly loss limit on poker machines, identifying them as the biggest cause of problem gambling.

Proposes a housing affordability taskforce to reduce red tape and taxes, states residents should not be priced out of the housing market by foreign investors, and proposes modifying negative gearing to encourage new affordable housing stock.
Health party platform
Calls for preventive healthcare funding to reduce chronic disease, expanded telemedicine for regional areas, reinstatement of the 30% private health insurance rebate, an evidence-based review of health system efficiency, and a dental scheme allowing pensioners to claim up to $1,000 every two years.
Education party platform
Supports an amended Jobs-Ready Graduates funding package giving disadvantaged and regional students greater access to university, increased investment in TAFE facilities, and a broader review of vocational training, traineeships and apprenticeships.
Transport & infrastructure party platform
Stated election priorities include extending the Seaford rail line to Aldinga, duplicating Main South Road, upgrading public and mass transport, extending the Amy Gillett bikeway, and reinstating Supplementary Road Funding for South Australia.
Energy 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.
