Higher Wages Mean Little If Prices Keep Rising

Australians deserve more than Canberra talk about the dignity of work, they need real action to lower inflation, lift productivity, and ease pressure on workers and small businesses.

The Cost of Living Promise Was Broken

Australians are working harder than ever, but higher prices, rising bills, and broken promises are eroding living standards and trust.

Higher Costs, Fewer Bulk-Billing Options

Australians were promised stronger Medicare, but patients are paying more to see a GP, bulk-billing options are fewer, and older Australians are being hit with higher health costs.

Labor’s Attack on Older Australians

Older Australians have worked hard, saved, paid taxes, and helped build this country. They deserve respect and certainty, not higher health bills, higher aged care costs, and more Labor taxes.

Stopping Bracket Creep

Working Australians deserve tax cuts that keep growing with the cost of living, not an inflation tax that quietly takes more of their hard-earned money.

McPherson punches well above its weight because of the local clubs, schools, volunteers, and community groups that give our region its strength and character.

Small Business Is Being Left Behind

Small-business owners are taking risks, creating jobs, and keeping the economy moving, but too many feel buried under new costs, red tape, and penalties.

Labor’s Toxic Taxes Will Make It Harder to Get Ahead

Labor’s toxic taxes punish Australians who work, save, invest, and try to get ahead.

Australians Deserve Answers on Housing

Migration is only one part of the housing crisis, but Australians deserve a serious answer on whether record migration has made it harder to afford a home.

The NDIS must be reformed, protected, and made sustainable, but not at the expense of the Australians with disability who rely on it every single day.

A Generation Locked Out of Home Ownership

Young Australians are working, saving, and sacrificing to get ahead, but the Government is making it harder to build, buy, and believe home ownership is still within reach.

You Don’t Strengthen Australia by Punishing Those Who Built It

Older Australians worked hard, saved, paid taxes, and helped build this country, but now they are being hit with higher health costs, higher aged care costs, and more uncertainty in retirement.
