The Liberal Party of Australia's stated policy platform in 2026, published on its 'Our Plan to Fix The Economy. Protect Our Way Of Life.' page (re-checked on 12 September 2026), centres on four priorities: lower taxes through a Tax Back Guarantee; cheaper power by scrapping Net Zero; less migration linked to new home construction; and putting Australians first through a Future Generations Fund. The page re-checked on 12 September 2026 and the party's embedded posts add further stated positions: the party says it will 'simplify the National Construction Code, while preserving core safety standards, to cut the cost of a new home by up to $70,000', that 'our farms should be growing food, not carbon credits' and the Coalition will stop Labor's 'net zero agenda from locking up land', and it describes Australians under Labor as having experienced 'the worst collapse in living standards in the developed world'. The party's 14 May 2026 Coalition Plan adds indexed tax thresholds, a migration and housing pledge, a fuel security plan, a small business write-off and at least 3 per cent of GDP on defence. The re-checked page and September 2026 party posts also state that the Liberals and Nationals will cut tobacco excise by 80 per cent, invest $200 million in stronger law enforcement and regulate vapes and nicotine pouches for adults; that the party wants to scrap a $5,000 annual cap on Veterans' allied health care; and that the party will 'axe Labor's toxic taxes', including what it calls the 'baby tax' on family trusts. All positions are attributed to Liberal Party sources and have not been independently verified by OzPolitics. The AEC register confirms the party is a registered federal party.https://ozpolitics.au/representation/one-nation-policies-and-positions-2026/https://ozpolitics.au/representation/one-nation-policies-and-positions-2026/Sat, 29 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMTParty profileIndependent summary of attributed party-published positions and separately labelled public evidence.
