Introduction to AFA Policies
Australia doesn’t need more politicians. It needs a reset.
The Australian Federation Alliance (AFA) was built from the ground up, by real Australians who are tired of the lies, the spin, and the endless excuses from both major parties.
We don’t do empty slogans. We don’t do backroom deals. What we do is deliver real policies built on common sense, integrity, and a deep respect for this country and the people who keep it running.
Our approach is simple: 🔹 Fix what’s broken 🔹 Protect what matters 🔹 Cut the bullshit
Over the next 18 months, we’ll roll out a series of straight-talking, practical, no-nonsense reforms covering education, energy, family law, defence, rural Australia, and more. Each one will be clearly explained and easy to access, because you deserve to know exactly what we stand for.
And when we release our full team of candidates, we won’t just talk about change. We’ll show you exactly how we’ll deliver it.
Australia has drifted into a culture of overreach, governments regulating everything from speech and self-defence to family life and business. Every year, more laws pile on that restrict your choices, your voice, and your ability to stand your ground.
The AFA believes in rolling back unnecessary laws, restoring freedoms, and ensuring government serves the people, not rules them.
We will cut through the red tape, remove overreaching legislation, and protect the rights of everyday Australians to live free, think free, and speak without fear.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Repeal speech-restricting legislation and protect open debate
-
Enshrine self-defence and property rights into law
-
Slash bureaucratic red tape that cripples small business and community action
-
Audit and repeal laws that limit freedom without a clear, evidence-based purpose
-
End forced political correctness in institutions and workplaces
-
Review emergency powers and prevent abuse by governments during crises
🧠 Why It Matters When governments overstep, freedom dies, not with a bang, but with paperwork. Your life, your family, your beliefs, they’re yours, not the government’s to permit or deny. AFA stands for an Australia that fights back, speaks freely, and knows where the line is drawn, and who draws it.
Our schools are overrun with theory, activism, and fluff, while students leave without knowing how to manage money, cook a meal, change a tyre, or understand how their own country functions.
AFA will restore purpose and practicality to education. That means strong minds and strong bodies, through a focus on critical thinking, personal responsibility, physical health, and life skills.
We’re not raising activists. We’re raising resilient Australians who can think for themselves, handle adversity, and contribute to the real world.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Mandatory physical education and fitness across all year levels
-
Introduce financial literacy, budgeting, and economics as core subjects
-
Include civics, law, and real-world problem-solving in high school curriculum
-
Scrap ideological indoctrination and re-focus on skill-building and facts
-
Improve support for apprenticeships, trade pathways, and regional training
-
Boost nutritional education and school food programs to fight child obesity
🧠 Why It Matters Kids are graduating school with political opinions but no life skills. They’re more anxious, unfit, and disconnected than ever before, and we wonder why?
The AFA will bring back discipline, capability, and national pride in education. We owe our children more than confusion. We owe them competence.
Our family law system is a circus, slow, expensive, biased, and often weaponised. It doesn’t put children first. It pits parents against each other. And too often, good mums and dads are punished simply for trying to stay in their kids’ lives.
The AFA will overhaul the system with one goal: fairness, accountability, and what's best for the children, not what’s best for the legal industry or weaponised agendas.
We’ll protect against false allegations, cut delays, and make equal shared parenting the default, not the exception.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Establish 50/50 shared parenting as the starting point
-
Penalise proven false allegations and manipulation
-
Introduce time limits on family court delays
-
Audit and reform court-appointed experts and decision-making panels
-
Remove gender bias from legal language and custody assumptions
-
Provide affordable legal pathways for parents to access their children
🧠 Why It Matters Too many good parents are being erased from their children's lives, not because they’re unfit, but because the system is broken, biased, or being played.
Family is not a battleground. It’s the foundation of society. AFA will defend it, fairly, firmly, and without compromise.
Australia has been dragged into an energy crisis by ideologues with spreadsheets and no spanners. We blew up working power stations while chasing weather-dependent tech that can’t keep up. Now we’re left with blackouts, skyrocketing bills, and smug politicians blaming the sun for grid failures.
AFA will end the chaos. We’ll keep coal and gas running, introduce nuclear, and stop dumping billions into unreliable nonsense. Our goal is simple: reliable, affordable power for homes, businesses, and industry.
This isn’t about slogans. It’s about sovereignty, survival, and common sense.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Introduce nuclear energy, starting with small modular reactors and retrofitting existing coal sites
-
Keep coal and gas online until proven, reliable alternatives are in place
-
End the obsession with “net zero” targets that wreck our economy
-
Audit and repeal renewable subsidies that distort the market
-
Cut power bills by restoring market balance and supply certainty
-
Promote domestic energy security, stop exporting stability while importing risk
🧠 Why It Matters Without reliable power, nothing else works. Industry collapses. Jobs vanish. Households suffer. The current path is unaffordable and unsustainable.
AFA will put the lights back on, and keep them on. Because a strong Australia doesn’t shiver in the dark.
Australia’s defence force has been gutted. Recruitment is down. Retention is worse. Morale’s collapsing. Meanwhile, we’ve got weak border policies, outdated gear, and politicians more worried about climate conferences than national security.
AFA will restore pride, purpose, and power to our defence forces. We will rebuild recruitment, support veterans, and put border security back on the national agenda.
Because a strong nation defends itself, not just on paper, but in people, readiness, and action.
📌 Key Reform,
-
Introduce recruitment incentives to rebuild defence, police, ASIO & AFP numbers
-
Develop veteran exit plans: housing, mental health, job transition, and dignity
-
Restore national service options for youth, military, trade, or civic duty
-
Fund modern equipment and tech, not political toys and PR defence projects
-
Secure our borders and ports with strong checks, strategic posture, and maritime protection
-
Create a rapid response reserve force for natural disasters and emergencies
🧠 Why It Matters A country that can’t defend itself is a country waiting to be taken. We’re losing the people who wear the uniform—because they’re overworked, under-respected, and forgotten the moment they discharge.
AFA will change that. If you protect this country, we protect you, with pride, with funding, and with purpose.
Australia is full of adults drowning in debt, clueless about tax, and living paycheck to paycheck, not because they’re lazy, but because no one taught them how money works.
AFA will make financial literacy a core subject in Australian schools. That means budgeting, saving, debt management, tax, superannuation, investing, and economic survival. We’ll give kids the tools to build a future, not just repeat slogans.
You can’t be truly free if you don’t understand your own wallet.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Introduce mandatory personal finance classes from Year 7 through to graduation
-
Teach students how to budget, save, and plan for real life
-
Explain how tax, super, loans, and interest actually work
-
Include content on investment basics, insurance, and avoiding financial traps
-
Tie lessons to real-world outcomes: renting, buying a car, running a business
-
Embed critical thinking into all economic education, not emotional politics
🧠 Why It Matters We’re setting kids up to fail by not giving them financial skills. Then we blame them for not thriving in a system they were never taught to navigate.
AFA will change that. No more fluff. No more debt traps. Just real skills, real outcomes, and a generation ready to build.
Australia is drowning in regulation. Every year, new laws pile up—most rushed through, poorly debated, and packed with unintended consequences. These aren’t protections. They’re shackles.
AFA will become the single most aggressive repealer of legislation in Australian history. If a law doesn’t serve the people, it’s gone. If it’s wasteful, ideological, duplicative, or just plain stupid, we’ll tear it out by the roots.
We’re not here to manage the bureaucracy. We’re here to rip it down.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Establish a standing committee to identify outdated, harmful, or ideological laws
-
Introduce a “Legislation Review Bill” every 6 months focused on repeals
-
Enforce mandatory impact assessments before any new law is passed
-
Block rushed legislation, require full debate periods in the Senate
-
Remove laws passed under emergency powers that overreached their scope
-
Launch a public submission portal, Australians nominate laws to repeal
🧠 Why It Matters Australia doesn’t need more laws. It needs better ones—and far fewer. The system is bloated, weaponised, and unaccountable.
AFA will clean house. No fear, no favour, and no sacred cows. We’ll give the power back to the people, by stripping power from the parasites.
Australia’s immigration system is broken, not because of who comes here, but how many, how fast, and how little planning goes into it.
We bring in more people than our infrastructure can handle, driving up housing prices, crushing wages, and stressing schools and hospitals. Meanwhile, the system ignores integration, economic needs, and Australian values.
AFA will restore control, purpose, and realism to immigration. No more endless intake numbers to chase GDP growth. We’ll tie immigration directly to national needs, not globalist wishlists.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Link annual immigration intake to economic capacity and housing availability
-
Prioritise migrants who bring critical skills, values, and long-term contribution
-
Require real cultural integration, language, civics, and community engagement
-
Crack down on visa abuse, fake education pathways, and rorts
-
Tighten refugee and asylum protocols to prevent exploitation
-
Remove migration targets designed for headlines, not sustainability
🧠 Why It Matters Immigration should strengthen a country, not strain it, divide it, or destabilise it. Australians are being priced out, pushed aside, and told to shut up if they raise concerns.
AFA won’t play that game. We’ll bring it back to balance, fair, firm, and in Australia’s interests first.
For too long, hardworking Aussies have been treated like ATMs—taxed into the ground, squeezed by rising costs, and ignored by politicians more focused on appeasing elites than empowering workers.
AFA stands for the people who build this country—the tradies, nurses, truckies, fabricators, teachers, small business owners, apprentices, and parents who hold Australia together.
We’ll tear down the barriers keeping Australians from getting ahead and reward effort, work ethic, and contribution. That’s how we rebuild a strong middle class.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Abolish or radically reform payroll tax to incentivise hiring and growth
-
Prioritise apprenticeships, trades, and skilled training over academic inflation
-
Protect Aussie jobs by tightening foreign worker loopholes
-
Cut cost-of-living pressures through energy reform and fuel tax audits
-
Reduce bureaucratic roadblocks for small business and start-ups
-
Encourage homegrown manufacturing and food production
🧠 Why It Matters Australia doesn’t run on bureaucrats—it runs on the people who get up early, clock on, and don’t complain.
They’ve been left behind by both major parties. AFA will put them front and centre—where they belong.
The bush has been bled dry, ignored by city-centric policy, starved of infrastructure, and left watching towns turn into ghost zones while Canberra throws billions at inner-city vanity projects.
AFA believes rural and regional Australians are the backbone of this country, and they deserve the same quality of services, roads, jobs, and opportunities as anyone in the capitals.
We’ll bring the bush back to life by investing where it matters, respecting rural voices, and making sure country Australians never get left behind again.
📌 Key Reforms
-
Invest in regional infrastructure: roads, internet, health, and education
-
Boost incentives for rural teachers, tradies, nurses, and police
-
Cut relocation red tape for families and small business to move bush
-
Promote local agriculture, water security, and domestic food supply chains
-
Push back against “15-minute city” policies and planning that centralises power
-
Fund mobile services for banking, legal, and Centrelink in remote towns
🧠 Why It Matters You can’t build a strong nation by abandoning half of it. When the bush thrives, Australia thrives. When it suffers, we all feel it.
AFA will rebuild the regions with respect, resources, and results. No more crumbs. No more tokenism. Just action.
