#### 1. Economic Management and Taxation
  - Emphasizes lower taxes and reduced government spending to stimulate economic growth. The LNP has historically positioned itself as the party of fiscal responsibility, advocating for tax cuts for businesses and individuals.
  - Proposes to unwind Labor’s reworked Stage 3 tax cuts if they deem them inflationary or poorly targeted, favoring tax relief for higher earners and businesses over broad-based redistribution.
  - Criticizes Labor’s additional $347 billion in spending since 2022, arguing it has fueled inflation (projected by the IMF to be the second-highest among developed nations in 2025).
  - Plans to turbocharge mining and resources by cutting "red and green tape" and accelerating project approvals.
#### 2. Energy and Climate Policy
  - Advocates a "balanced energy mix" including renewables, gas, and zero-emissions nuclear power. Plans to replace retiring coal plants with nuclear reactors in seven locations, claiming it will save $263 billion by 2050 compared to Labor’s plan.
  - Opposes Labor’s "renewables-only" approach, arguing it drives up electricity prices (up 32% without rebates since 2022) and relies on unreliable sources.
  - Supports expanding gas and coal production
#### 3. Cost of Living
  - Opposes Labor’s cost-of-living measures like energy rebates and childcare subsidies, arguing they’re short-term fixes that increase government debt. Dutton has explicitly said the LNP won’t offer energy bill relief via rebates.
  - Focuses on reducing inflation caused by Labor’s spending to ease interest rate pressures, alongside incentivizing first home buyers and a two-year ban on foreign investors buying existing homes.
#### 4. Industrial Relations and Workers’ Rights
  - Plans to reverse Labor’s "right to disconnect" laws (allowing workers to ignore after-hours contact) and review equal pay rules for agency workers, arguing they burden businesses.
  - Aims to simplify casual worker definitions, curb union power, and reinstate a tougher Australian Building and Construction Commission to reduce "militancy" in workplaces.
  - Proposes cutting 36,000 public service jobs to reduce government overhead.
#### 5. Housing
  - Promises to unlock 500,000 new homes by funding infrastructure (water, power, sewerage) at development sites and banning foreign investors from buying existing homes for two years.
  - Criticizes Labor’s migration policies for increasing housing demand, proposing a rebalanced migration system.
#### 6. Health and Education
  - Commits $9 billion to Medicare to boost bulk-billing and reverse Labor’s cuts to psychology sessions.
#### 7. National Security and Defense
- **LNP**:
  - Prioritizes stronger defence spending, including nuclear submarines under AUKUS, and tougher border security policies. Plans to invest in regional stability to counter China’s influence.
  - May abolish "Welcome to Country" ceremonies, as they are divisive
