Party platform policies

Australian Labor Party

Climate and energy

Labor’s current settings include legislated 2030 emissions reduction targets, the Capacity Investment Scheme for renewables/storage, and the Safeguard Mechanism for large emitters. Household energy bill relief has been delivered periodically.

Australian Labor Party

Climate and Energy Transition

Accelerate renewable energy investment and emissions reduction while supporting regional jobs in the energy transition.

Australian Greens

Climate Emergency Action

Phase out fossil fuel subsidies, legislate stronger emissions targets, and invest in public renewable energy.

Liberal Party of Australia

Climate and energy

Liberal recorded positions favour including nuclear power, maintaining gas, and a technology-led path to emissions reduction, with household energy affordability as a primary frame. Recent statements emphasize the long-term economic impacts of Labor's policies, highlighting concerns over potential tax increases affecting families and small businesses.

Liberal Party of Australia

Energy Affordability

Support a balanced energy mix including gas and nuclear options to deliver reliable, affordable power for households and industry, while addressing the long-term economic impacts of energy policies on families and small businesses.

National Party of Australia

Mining and Resources

Support responsible resource development, regional royalties, and jobs in mining, gas, and agricultural exports, while prioritizing economic stability and addressing cost of living pressures.

National Party of Australia

Water and Environment

Focus on reducing government spending on climate initiatives while advocating for sustainable water management and practical environmental stewardship in regional communities.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Climate and energy

One Nation opposes rapid net-zero pathways that it argues raise power prices, and favours conventional fossil generation. The party is critical of government shifts in energy policy that may impact living standards and the reliability of the electricity grid, contributing to uncertainty for households managing rising expenses.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Energy Security

Support coal, gas, and affordable baseload power; oppose net-zero targets that raise prices for households; emphasize the importance of maintaining high living standards and a reliable electricity grid.

United Australia Party

Affordable Energy

Lower electricity prices through domestic gas reservation, nuclear consideration, and reduced regulatory burden.
