FEDERAL POLICY STATEMENT SUMMARY.

CITIZENS INITIATED REFERENDA

One Nation supports CIR as a system that allows all members of society to have a direct say in Government decision making. Representative Democracy only allows individuals or parties the right to decide for the rest of us.
One Nation believes in not only upholding the right but the need for all Australians to effectively raise debate on issues of concern and have the mechanism to democratically pursue those issues to produce an outcome of legislative change.

DEFENCE

One Nation believes the most fundamental and foremost responsibility of any government is the provision of physical security for the protection of the nation and its citizens.The conventional means of affecting this is through the maintenance of a capable defence force to combat any threat to our sovereignty . Fully supported by police and well trained reserve forces backed by a strong sound competitive manufacturing capacity. History reinforces the logic that the only country that any one can depend on in a time of security crises is itself.

EDUCATION

One Nation is committed to a fundamental level of education which encompasses at the very
least, writing, reading, spoken skills and expression combined with essential mathematics.
To ensure this we will replace the UNESCO “PROGRESSIVE” system with a full “SYLLABUS” system. Emphasis on responsibility, competition and discipline. We will reinstate School Inspectors, ensure Christian Values, Patriotism and Morality. Aptitude tests will be conducted to ensure students are directed towards an education in line with their capabilities.

EMPLOYMENT – INDUSTRIAL RELATION

One Nation believes that re-industrialisation is the best way of creating lasting full time employment with positions for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. This, combined with training Australians rather than importing skills, tax and economic reform, rescinding of
harmful treaties and implementing an industrial relations policy based on fairness and equality for all Australian employees and employers, will enable our manufacturing, business and rural industries to compete on truly level playing field.
One Nation will make creating employment and reducing unemployment and all its associated social ills our major objective.

One Nation’s Industrial Relations policy is based on fairness and equality for all parties concerned, with emphasis on protection of employees and contractor entitlements while also protecting employers from dishonest, disruptive, unsuited employees, or abuse of power by
Unions or union officials. The important role of unions have played in Australia is recognised,
and the continuing need for workers to have access to assistance to negotiate their wages and conditions is acknowledged; membership of unions will continue to be voluntary.

ENERGY

One Nation is committed to ensuring that Australian’s have access to their abundant supplies of energy, without the price impacts of OPEC, foreign exchange, excise taxes & flawed Kyoto accords. We will control our energy resources, encourage the use of true renewable energy and
cleaner autogas and remove deadly aromatics from petrol, reducing liquid fuel prices to a reasonable cost and provide nation wide uniform fuel pricing.

ENVIRONMENT – SALINITY – WATERING AUSTRALIA

One Nation will ensure the protection of the Australian environment, including National Parks, oceans, waterways and atmosphere, for the benefit and enjoyment of all Australians, now and in the future. There will be no Debt-for-equity swap to expunge part of the national debt with the IMF/World Bank for Australia’s national parks & wildlife. We will foster the development of advanced efficient cleaner energy technologies, encourage the use and conversion to Autogas, and low sulphur diesel, and remove deadly aromatics from petrol. We will not ratify the Kyoto accords and withdraw from agenda 21 and other treaties, which are essentially negative, counter productive and a disaster of international pseudo-science, and dangerously interfere in the climate system.

There is no escaping the fact that Salinity has become an urgent environmental problem.
In states like western Australia and South Australia and areas like the Murray-Darling Basin, it is probably the number one environmental concern, if ignored, any longer the term will become environmental disaster. Salinity needs fixing, and it needs fixing now.
One Nation will strive to repair the damage of the past and minimize negative impacts into the future. Solutions to our current problems need a comprehensive, holistic plan, One Nation will start implementation of these plans immediately.

One Nation will prioritize Watering Australia.

GLOBALISATION – GATS – TREATIES

One Nation rejects Globalisation, Mass Immigration, the Destruction of our industries, the export of our jobs, the sale of Australia and the Planned Ruination of the Rural sector and our Standard of Living. One Nation will ensure that our identity and national sovereignty are not undermined. It will see that essential services are maintained and stay in Australian hands. Bureaucracy will be directed that these priorities must be adhered to with a review of treaties, protocols and agreements undertaken to ensure this. Senator Len Harris has made a public commitment that One Nation would see Australia withdraw from GATS and will review all treaties and withdraw from those of no benefit to us. Globalisation means Australians giving up their country and we oppose it. Foreign aid will be reviewed, & provided only in Australian made products and services to those in genuine need.
HEALTH
In line with One Nation core values, that Health Care, should be available to ALL AUSTRALIANS. The Australian Health Care, should not only foster excellence in research and development as well as in training, it should also look to ensuring excellence in its delivery system. Medicare (Universal health care) and bulk billing are the corner stones of such a system.
We support the development of an equitable, efficient and high quality care system that is accessible to all Australians regardless of means, reinstatement of public hospital boards as elected by the community. Public funding will be directed to consultation fees for GP’s, ensuring the survival of their practices, in lue of corporate funding.

LAW AND JUSTICE

One Nation will take a tough line on all crime. Distribution and use of drugs are a criminal offence and will be treated as such, free needles and other forms of encouragement will cease. We will have truth in sentencing and equality in justice. We will ensure its the criminal that suffers not the victims, and people have the right to defend their property, and to be safe in their homes or on the street, especially our seniors. One Nation believes in restoring the authority of the family and that responsible parents should not have their authority eroded by frivolous legislation or UN treaties. We recognise that the best support we can give to any family is support that keeps the marriage and family unit intact.

MULTICULTURISM – IMMIGRATION

One Nation will abolish multiculturalism and the Racial Discrimination Act, promote assimilation, nationalism, loyalty and pride in being an Australian.
One Nation believes that migrants who choose Australia, as their permanent homeland should, as a part of their decision to migrate will embrace and enjoy Australia’s cultural values, lifestyle, freedoms and language.
One Nation believes in zero net immigration (subject to review depending on the economy) and that coming to Australia is a privilege that must not be undervalued. We reserve the right to discriminate to ensure these privileges are maintained, so protecting our economy, social cohesion and cultural heritage.

PRIMARY INDUSTRY – RURAL

One Nation believes that our primary industries are a national asset and critical to our security, we will ensure the future of Primary Production. One Nation will support continued growth in our primary industries, encouraging environment-friendly economical sustainable production, and ethical resource use. One Nation will protect our primary industries from deregulation, native title, globalism and treaties that threaten competitiveness, energy prices and other costs of production will be reduced, with new technologies to control insect pests and ensure water supplies.
60% of the farms that existed in Australia in 1960 have disappeared; 40% of the farms which existed in 1985 have now gone. The remaining farmers have been leaving the land (1997 figures) at the rate of 35 per week. Some sources place the ‘flight from the land’ even higher,
reporting that the number of Australian farmers declined 15% between 1988 & 1996, representing a loss of 52 farmers a week. The Australian government’s response has been to put up a $500 million taxpayer funded aid package not to halt the trend, but to help farmers leave the land. In the pursuit of globalism they have managed to destroy our rural industries to the extent that we now have to borrow money to import food that we once produced here.
ONE NATION the only party to represent the farmers will reverse this.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED PRODUCTS

Until it has been clearly demonstrated elsewhere that GM products are ecologically and environmentally safe, there will be a moratorium on the further use of or development of GM products in Australia. All existing GM products or products with GM ingredients will be required to be clearly labeled as such. One Nation believes that it is better to err on the side of caution than to make hasty decisions. Multinationals, technological and industrial developers must demonstrate that planned projects are ecologically sustainable and safe.

SENIORS

That Australians of mature age should be classified as Seniors and should be entitled to receive appropriate benefits. They should not suffer demeaning categorization such as; Pensioners, Aged, Older person etc.
Those who have contributed through the Social Security Contribution levy, upon reaching retirement age, should be entitled their full pension without assets test, with free health and medical benefits. They should also be encouraged, not hindered in developing any supplementary secure and independent source of income for their retirement.
