2022 Federal Policy Guide

FEDERAL POLICY GUIDE Authorised by R.Miles, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, 17/109 Holt St Eagle Farm

AFFORDABLE ENERGY AND COST OF LIVING One Nation will apply a national plan that guarantees low-cost, reliable, dispatchable power by building new low-emission coal-fired power stations. We will restore Australia’s essential 90-day fuel security policy with on-shore oil reserves and the capacity to refine fuels for domestic supply. Australia’s abundant natural resources should be for the prosperity of our own citizens instead of our global competitors. One Nation supports the investigation of nuclear power energy in Australia. We strongly oppose the waste of multi-billion dollar government subsidy schemes offered to foreign-owned solar and wind projects.

WATER Politicians have failed to construct dams and expand our nation’s water security for our ever-increasing population. Instead, they have privatised Australia’s water, with more than 20% sold to foreign investors, while withholding the records of those who trade in this precious commodity. Enough is enough. One Nation will build new water infrastructure projects, including dams, and increase the supply to Australian farmers and our growing nation. We will also legislate the full disclosure of water ownership and ban the sale of water to foreign investors.

FARMING More than 53 million hectares of prime agricultural land is held by foreign interests. This equates to 14% of Australia’s total 372 million hectares of agricultural land. One Nation will ban any further sale of freehold farmland to foreign investors and limit the sale of leasehold farmland to a tenure of 25 years. One Nation will also reimplement Foreign Investment Review Board applications on all Agricultural Land from expiring Free Trade Agreements. We strongly support the re-establishment of a Federal Government backed rural lending fund to safeguard Australian farmers throughout drought and other natural weather events.

REFUGEES One Nation favours Australians first and foremost. We do not support unlimited numbers of refugees from Afghanistan as announced by the government. We support taking a sustainable number of genuine refugees (not economic ones) that Australia can support. We believe in reducing the refugee intake for five years in an effort to redirect critical funding to Australian services. Government reports reveal the cost to hold each asylum seeker on Nauru has escalated to $358,646 per month - or $4.3 million a year. One Nation supports the withdrawal of Australia from the outdated United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention.

ELICIT DRUG EPIDEMIC Australia continues to rank a shameful second for the use of illicit drugs according to the latest National Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program conducted by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.

Sadly Customs inspect just over 1% of the more than 8 million shipping containers that enter Australian ports annually. One Nation will fund the increase of scanning and inspection of containers through the seizure of assets and money from the proceeds of drug crimes. One Nation will also establish a Federal Police Drug Bus in each state that will provide an educational roadshow for parents and students.

TAXATION One Nation will oppose any increase in the GST as it will heavily impact Australia’s standard of living and further burden those on the pension and with low incomes. We will maintain our opposition to the reintroduction of death duties and pursue a tax regime that ensures multi-national businesses pay their fair share of tax while operating within Australia.

MEDICAL CANNABIS Whole plant medicinal cannabis continues to act as a natural, proven alternative for chronic pain relief and other serious health symptoms experienced by Australians. One Nation remains at the forefront of advocacy within the federal parliament, and we will continue our push to bring the cost of access down.

IMMIGRATION Zero-net immigration throughout the COVID response illustrated how putting the brakes on migration reduced congestion on our roads and allowed Government services to focus on Australians. One Nation will extend its zero-net migration policy and focus on permitting only highly skilled migrants from culturally cohesive countries into Australia. Migrants must demonstrate a sound level of English for assimilation purposes. Education courses in Australian Universities should not be used as a backdoor to immigrate to Australia. High immigration continues to suppress Australian wages and access to public hospitals.

HEALTH

Australia’s health system was beyond capacity before COVID-19 and evidently inadequate in regional parts of the nation. One Nation recognises the need to bolster the number of regional doctors, nurses, and other critical health professionals. To encourage better regional medical services, One Nation will introduce three-year contracts for newly qualified medical professionals and in return pay their HECS-HELP loans in full.

EDUCATION Despite a $24.8 billion budget for state education services, Australia continues to rank lower than comparable high and middle-income countries in achieving quality education outcomes. One Nation will restore critical thinking in the classroom and reinstate the cornerstone of education with reading, writing, arithmetic, and discipline. There should be no room for Western, white, gender, guilt shaming in any classroom and instead, children should be taught the benefits of a merit-based free thinking society.

WORLD ORGANIZATIONS AND TRADE AGREEMENTS The Australian Constitution must be upheld at all times and not undermined by United Nations forums and its 193 member states. One Nation does not support the World Economic Forum’s 'Great Reset'.

Free Trade Agreements that function against the best interest of Australians must also be scrapped. Import tariffs should be reimplemented on select countries to protect Australia's remaining industry and manufacturing while safeguarding homegrown jobs and wage levels.

AUSTRALIAN JOBS AND INFRASTRUCTURE One Nation supports jobs for Australians first and foremost. To bolster homegrown tradesmen and women, One Nation will increase its national apprenticeship scheme whereby first-year apprentices receive a 75% wage subsidy, followed by 50% in the second year, and finally 25% in their third year. The release of this program in 2019 was taken up within three weeks by regional businesses. The second rollout of the program was again swiftly welcomed. A third installment of this strategy would be combined with nation-building infrastructure projects including water, rail, roads, and energy.

Australia’s national security depends on being able to manufacture steel, aluminum, glass, and nitrates. These industries need to be identified as essential and supported by federal government procurement policy and any projects funded federally.

One Nation does not support the casualisation of any workforce and instead embraces secure, permanent employment.

FAMILY LAW & CHILD SUPPORT Children have a right to have both parents involved in their life if the mother and father are deemed to be fit and able. We also support the rights of grandparents when family relationships sour. One Nation strongly supports the implementation of a fairer child support system whereby the children are financially supported, not the ex-partner. It is imperative that Australia’s Family Law system is made fairer to discourage expensive, adversarial court action.

FIREARMS OWNERSHIP

One Nation supports responsible gun ownership and will preserve the current laws which allow law-abiding citizens access to firearms, whether it be for work, farming, or sports-related activities. We do not believe that further stringent measures or regulations are required regarding licensing. One Nation calls for stricter border security and tougher sentencing for gun crimes and traffickers.

PENSIONERS One Nation will advocate for a $100 a week rise under the Work Bonus scheme that would allow pensioners to earn up to $13,000 a year without reducing their pension (Work Bonus Scheme is currently $7,800 p.a.). We believe that you must have lived and worked in Australia for at least 15 years before accessing pension entitlements. One Nation opposes the increase to the age of entitlement to 70 years of age.

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP One Nation will pursue urgent reform to Australia’s foreign investment rules by legislating a clear definition of what constitutes ‘National Interest’. This will be based on national security, competition, tax, a character test, and any other impacts to Australia. Essential services including power, water, telecommunications, roadways, and ports will be off-limits to foreign investors.

In 2019-20 foreign investors spent $17 billion on buying residential homes, driving up prices and causing a housing shortage for Australians. We must stop the sale of property to non-Australian residents or citizens.

CITIZENS INITIATED REFERENDA One Nation will push for the introduction of a Citizens Initiated Referenda, enabling Australian citizens to put forward legislation or a referendum question without waiting for politicians to listen and act.

COVID-19 RESPONSE One Nation opposes COVID-19 vaccine mandates on Australian citizens.

One Nation will continue our push for a Royal Commission into the management of the COVID-19 pandemic by Australian governments.

While we acknowledge that people have died from COVID, there is a noteworthy difference between 'died of’, versus 'died ‘with’. It is critical that an honest and thorough examination of how Federal, state, and territory governments managed the pandemic is implemented by the parliament.

We need a Royal Commission not to lay blame or find scapegoats because the buck will always stop with the Prime Minister and state and territory leaders, as it must in a representative democracy - but primarily to learn which pandemic measures worked and which didn’t so we are much better prepared for the next pandemic.

Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.

A Royal Commission will have the necessary power to compel the expert health advice Australian governments relied on to justify and implement pandemic measures - much of this advice has been hidden from the Australian people. We need a Royal Commission because this inquiry must be completely transparent to the Australian public.

The Australian people deserve a comprehensive account of the decisions made by their governments to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
