POLICIES

Reforming the Tax Table & keeping big corporations in check

As a party, we understand that many Australians are frustrated with being taxed heavily on their personal income. That’s why one of our major policy commitments is to raise the minimum tax-free threshold to $40,000 and reshape the tax brackets — ensuring you can spend or save more of what you earn. We believe this will stimulate consumer confidence, boost local businesses, and strengthen the overall economy.

Of course, a fair and thriving economy still requires revenue. That’s why we’ll introduce alternative, smarter methods to maintain GDP and fund essential services. (See our Comprehensive Steps to Reforming Australia for full details.)

​

Finally, we have no problem with corporations making a profit — they’re vital to jobs and innovation. However, when those profits come at the expense of everyday Australians, reform is necessary. We will offer responsible corporate tax cuts to make Australia an attractive investment destination, while strengthening the ACCC’s powers to prevent anti-competitive behaviour and protect consumers.

No Pensioners or Veterans left behind

This policy ensures dignity and fairness for pensioners and veterans by targeting support to those most in need while cutting waste. Full pensions will go only to those without significant assets, with incentives for saving and working longer. Pensioners will receive housing and healthcare support primarily through the private sector, with safety nets for low-income earners. Veterans will be supported based on length and risk of service, with full benefits for frontline personnel and a strong focus on helping them transition to civilian work. The new Seniors & Veterans Services Australia (SVSA) agency will merge existing services, streamline bureaucracy, reduce fraud, and end middle-class welfare. This will be fully funded without new taxes, by tightening eligibility, reducing duplication, and shifting focus to genuine need.

Back our Farmers, Feed our Future

Australia’s farmers are the backbone of the nation — but they’ve been neglected for too long. The Social Tories will launch the Rural Resilience and Fair Supply Act, a national plan to support family farms, lower input costs, and secure food sovereignty. We’ll invest in regional supply chains and storage infrastructure to reduce waste and boost profits, establish a national rural freight subsidy to cut transport costs, and expand mobile and satellite internet access to bring the bush into the digital economy. To protect farmers from unfair pricing, we’ll strengthen farmgate pricing laws and crack down on corporate supermarket monopolies. And when disasters hit, farmers won’t be left waiting — we'll deliver rapid-response drought and flood relief through a dedicated Rural Disaster Fund. Our food security starts with strong, independent farmers — and the Social Tories will back them every step of the way.

Reformed Sentencing

A major issue facing our communities today is the rise in crime. With police forces under-resourced, catching criminals has become increasingly difficult. Even when arrests are made, offenders are too often released with little or no consequences, undermining public safety and the hard work of officers.

To restore law and order, we will introduce tougher sentencing for criminal offences and ensure stricter penalties for repeat offenders. Our goal is clear: to deter crime, protect victims, and give police the support they need to keep our streets safe.

Refinement of minerals

Australia is 2nd largest mining country in the world, despite this, we refine next to none of our minerals. Instead we export two-thirds of the raw materials to China. Currently, the 2 major parties in our parliament have failed miserably at delivering any successful mineral refinery programs. A Social Tory government WILL end the Labor radical renewables & Can't- do Coalition with no plan.
