1. Common-Sense Governance
Incentives drive behaviour. We propose single-term MPs and an AI-assisted "policy engine" to replace careerism with service and ideology with evidence.
The Problem: AI and robotics are actively substituting for human tasks, threatening to decouple economic growth from human employment. The rich get richer and everyone else gets poorer.
The Solution: A transition plan based on three pillars: reforming governance to follow evidence, taxing the machine economy to fund human dignity, and securing our energy independence.

Work is identity. We advocate for a "Human Utility Subsidy" funded by taxing the machine economy, ensuring humans remain cheaper to hire than robots for enough tasks to provide adequate employment.
A high-tech nation needs massive baseload power. We support Thorium and Fusion research, alongside practical regional development like the Ord River scheme.
Our platform is derived from the 2018 Senate Submission "The Luddite Fallacy Fallacy". We believe policy should be based on deep research, not opinion polls.
