Australians are doing it tough. Inflation is through the roof, food and fuel prices keep climbing, and power bills are out of control. People need cheap power, a reduction in their fuel bills, less income tax and solutions to the housing and food crises.
Meanwhile, the Labor government is more focused on increasing taxes and mass migration than actually fixing the problems everyday Australians are facing.
While Labor and the Liberals keep offering band-aid solutions that do nothing to lower the cost of living, One Nation has been delivering real policy solutions that put money back in Australians’ pockets.
This year, One Nation has made huge inroads in policy announcements that tackle the financial pressures Aussies are facing—without blowing out government spending.
Cutting Taxes and Giving Australians a Fair Go
One of the biggest ways to ease the cost of living is tax relief, and One Nation is the only party putting forward serious, commonsense tax reform.
- Raising the tax-free threshold for self-funded retirees to $35,000 – Retirees who’ve worked hard and saved responsibly should not be slugged with tax just for funding their own retirement. Unlike pensioners, these Australians receive no government support, yet Labor still wants to take more from them. One Nation will let them keep more of their money.
- Income splitting for families – Families should be able to file joint tax returns, so couples with children aren’t unfairly taxed when one parent stays home. This policy helps families keep more of their income, reduces the tax burden on single-income households, and makes it easier for parents to raise their kids without needing government handouts.
- Removing work limits for pensioners and veterans – Australia has a worker shortage, yet we punish pensioners and veterans for working by cutting their payments if they earn too much. One Nation will scrap these penalties so older Australians can work as much as they want without losing their pension. This helps businesses, fills workforce gaps, and reduces the need to import foreign workers.
These are real, practical solutions that make life more affordable for Australians without increasing debt or wasting taxpayer money.
Fixing the Housing and Skilled Worker Crisis
Housing prices and rents are skyrocketing because of Labor’s mass migration policies. Meanwhile, we have massive shortages in skilled trades, healthcare, and education. Instead of addressing the problem, Labor’s solution is to bring in more migrants—which only drives up housing demand and makes things worse.
One Nation’s policies tackle this issue head-on by:
- Encouraging older Australians to re-enter the workforce by removing pension earning limits, helping to fill critical job shortages without relying on foreign workers.
- Reducing the need for taxpayer-funded childcare by making it easier for one parent to stay home with children through income splitting, rather than forcing both parents into the workforce just to survive.
- Giving self-funded retirees more financial freedom so they can invest more in Australian property and businesses, stimulating the economy without government intervention.
Labor and the Liberals refuse to address the real causes of the cost-of-living crisis. One Nation is leading the way with policies that provide long-term solutions instead of quick fixes.
Real Action
Labor promised lower power prices – remember that $270 lower power promise Albo made.. Instead, they shut down coal and gas projects, pushing prices even higher. They promised more housing, but their mass migration policies have made the crisis worse. Every time they make a promise, it ends up costing Australians more money and more hardship.
One Nation doesn’t make empty promises. We deliver policies that work—solutions that put money back in people’s pockets, ease cost-of-living pressures, and ensure Australians come first.
The 2025 Federal Election is coming, and Australians will have a choice:
- More taxes, more migration, and more cost-of-living pain under Labor
- Or real economic relief with One Nation’s common-sense policies
The solutions are here. It’s time for a government that actually listens and puts Australians first.
