Investing in our schools and TAFEs: opportunity, equity and innovation

Labor wants your child to be given the same chance to succeed at school as any other child in the country. So our policy is school funding should go where it is most needed — to ensure the best education outcome for all Australian kids.

Making health our #1 priority: protecting Medicare, investing in our health system

Labor gave Australians Medicare and we will always protect it. We believe all Australians should be able to access healthcare when and where they need it. That is what drives Labor’s health policy.

Keeping higher education accessible for middle and working class families: no $100,000 degrees

What should get you into uni is hard work and deep thinking — not just deep pockets. That is why Labor is 100% against $100,000 university degrees.

Nation-building infrastructure: jobs, road and rail

We are committed to nation-building. That’s why Labor will invest in roads and rail to ensure our cities and regions have properly integrated transport systems that boost productivity.

Acting on climate change, protecting the environment

The key to tackling climate change is to drastically increase our investment in renewable energies like solar. That is why we’ll commit to 50% renewable energy by 2030 because it will cut pollution, help create jobs of the future and lower energy prices.

Protecting penalty rates and your rights at work

Labor believes in weekend penalty rates. This is a core Labor belief. That is why Labor will fight to protect your penalty rates and your rights at work.

Budget repair that’s fair: a 10 year plan to strengthen the Australian economy

The problem with Mr Turnbull is he's soft on multinationals but hard on schools and hospitals. The budget is a matter of priorities -- and that’s why Labor will level the playing field for first home buyers and make multinationals pay their fair share.

Tackling inequality and disadvantage

We will always have problems if we allow inequality to continue. That’s why Labor is committed to tackling inequality. Labor has to stand up for people who are less off and that’s what our policies will do.

Australia’s place in a changing world

Australia seeks a good international society. Our national interest is in a peaceful, stable and prosperous world. There are many challenges to this global vision – including the threat of conflict between states, the rise of non-state actors, growing economic inequality, and climate change. We acknowledge our leading role in our region and accept our global responsibilities.

Putting people first in every State and Territory

Labor will govern for all Australians, in every State and Territory. That's why we've got positive plans to build infrastructure and create jobs for every State and Territory.

And more policies to come.
