Policy

The Nationals plan for regional Australia is built on strong economic management and a fair share for the regions.

As the one party dedicated to the one third of Australians who make their homes, work or business in the regions, our concern for the future increases every day Labor remains in Government.

Our first priority in government will be to restore the Budget surplus and repay the terrifying debt Labor has amassed.
 
We will put an end to Labor’s reckless spending, and secure a “Fair Share” of investment in regional Australia.
 
We want to ensure that all Australians have fair access to services like health and education and critical infrastructure such as good roads and telecommunications to truly unlock regional Australia’s potential.
 
As Nationals, we commit ourselves to delivering a fair go for all Australians – no matter where you live.
 
The Nationals adopted this 2010 Policy Platform at its Federal Council in Canberra on 20 June 2010.
 
This is a working document which is subject to ongoing development and review by our Policy Standing Committee and The Nationals’ membership.  The Nationals are an inclusive Party and welcome the contribution of ideas and feedback from members of the public, industry, business, employee and professional organisations.
 
While remaining open to further development and review, this policy statement forms the blueprint for The Nationals Policy Platform for the 2010 Federal Election.
