CORPORATE TAX

We will reduce the corporate tax rate to stimulate business growth and attract foreign investment. Lower taxes on businesses will result in higher profitability, encouraging companies to reinvest in their operations, create new jobs, and strengthen Australia’s competitiveness on the global stage. 

Since the SDP hiked taxes on all businesses by 2.5% all those months ago, governments have blatantly ignored the business community. The Liberals are calling for this to be cut to make it more affordable for businesses to succeed! 

CUTTING RED TAPE

We will cut red tape impacting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 

By simplifying regulatory frameworks and removing unnecessary administrative barriers, we will enable SMEs to focus on innovation and growth, driving economic expansion and job creation across Australia. 

The Liberals are the only party that will do this, with the SDP and Jordology looking to add even more bureaucratic framework to our nation!

BETTER HOUSING

We will continue to support our better housing initiatives in the National Housing Supply and Affordability Act and the Housing Australia Future Fund.

These two pieces take decisive action to address our nation's housing issue at its core - the supply of housing. They take decisive action on increasing housing stock and investing in our nation's future housing infrastructure, making it easier for first-time buyers to enter the market and for families to find affordable homes. 

NEGATIVE GEARING

Our government is committed to making housing more affordable for all Australians. 

By reducing the benefits of negative gearing, we aim to level the playing field between property investors and first-time home buyers. This reform will help curb speculative investment in the housing market, stabilizing property prices and making home-ownership more attainable for everyday Australians. 

Coupled with our legislation towards building new housing, it will ensure that our housing market remains sustainable and accessible for future generations. 

PRICE GOUGING

We will reform the Corporations Act to specifically target and prevent predatory behavior by immoral corporate actors. This reform will introduce stricter regulations and oversight to identify and address unethical practices, including price gouging, deceptive advertising, and exploitation of consumers or small businesses. 

Companies found engaging in such behavior will face severe penalties, including fines, loss of licenses, or restrictions on their operations. 

By holding corporations accountable, we aim to foster a business environment that values ethical practices and long-term sustainability over short-term greed. This reform will restore trust in Australia’s corporate sector and support the economic well-being of all Australians. 

TAX FREE? NO WORRIES.

The Liberal Party will make the bold statement of raising the tax-free threshold, allowing Aussies to keep more of their hard-earned money before any tax is applied. 

By increasing the tax-free threshold, we aim to provide immediate financial relief to low and middle-income earners, helping families and individuals meet rising living costs. 

Through this measure, we reaffirm our commitment to reducing the financial burden on everyday Australians and helping build a more prosperous, fair, and resilient economy for all.

FIRST HOME BUYER GRANT

Have you ever owned a property before? If not, you're in luck. The Liberal Party will provide up to $20,000 annually to 25,000 first home buyers who are Australian citizens looking to purchase their first home under $1,000,000. 

This initiative is designed to help aspiring homeowners overcome the financial barriers to entering the property market, making homeownership more attainable for everyday Australians. By easing the upfront costs, including deposits and fees, we aim to support young families and individuals in achieving their dreams. 

Depending on the success of this program and the state of the housing market, we will look to expand it in future terms, ensuring more Australians can benefit and contribute to our nation's long-term housing affordability and economic growth.
