THE MMP PLATFORM

A PLAN FOR EVERY AUSTRALIAN

OUR MISSION

Build a sovereign, self-sustaining, high-technology, farming and industrial export nation of united families. Australia controls its own resources, energy, food, water, and defence. Advanced manufacturing built from within. AI, space, and data industries made in Australia. All faiths, all backgrounds, one nation moving forward together.

CORE VALUES

Ten values. One test: does this make Australia better for the people who live in it? Sovereignty — Australia first, no foreign direction. Truth — name it, fix it. Family — the foundation of society, every policy tested against it. Courage — say it, do it. Community — the person on JobSeeker is not lazy, the NDIS participant is not a burden. Healing — systems that build wellbeing, not manage breakdown. Dignity — every Australian deserves a fair go. Fairness — same rules, same rate, no carve-outs. The Land — we are custodians, not consumers. Accountability — every commitment tracked, published, and measured in real time on the People's Portal.

GOVERNING PHILOSOPHY

MMP takes no donations from corporations, unions, or industry bodies. No party whips — every MMP MP votes their conscience, their constituents' wishes, and their own values — in that order. No deals behind closed doors. No spin. No secrets. When you vote for a Labor or Liberal MP, you are not voting for a person — you are voting for a machine. Their vote is decided before they walk into the chamber, by factions, donors, and party secretaries you never elected. MMP is different by design. A government that belongs to the people it serves.

FIRST TERM COMMITMENTS

Every commitment measurable. Every KPI tracked live on the People's Portal and published against actuals in real time. Year 1: $50K tax-free threshold legislated. REL operational. Fuel emergency declared, 90-day reserve audit within 30 days. Water buybacks moratorium. 8 Royal Commissions commissioned within 90 days. Federal budget deficit reduced to ~$8B. Year 2: First budget surplus. REL revenue compounding. SBC Phase 0 construction underway. Bulk billing restored nationally. Year 3: Surplus locked. Income tax on legislated path to 20%. 200 new corridor towns in planning. Debt falling for the first time in a decade. Not a promise. A mechanism. When the money comes in, the commitments are met.

Australia is one of the wealthiest nations on earth by any measure of natural endowment. We have the minerals, the land, the sun, the gas, and the people. What we have lacked is a plan that puts those resources to work for ordinary Australians — not just for shareholders and foreign markets. That is what MMP offers. Not a list of promises. A direction. A destination.

HEALTHCARE

Bulk billing has collapsed. In regional Australia, families pay over $80 in gap fees just to see a GP — more than $1,000 a year. MMP restores the $0 GP visit with a 95% Medicare rebate and no gap fee. Ten Green Zone community health pilots — one per state and territory — in the first term, then rolled out nationally. Healing Centres built into every new corridor town. Aged care woven into communities, not warehoused at distance.

Obesity is the number one preventable burden on the health system. MMP funds the education and food transparency programs that address it at the source. The PBS is preserved and extended. Dental care brought into Medicare. The health system rebuilt around prevention, not just treatment.

MENTAL HEALTH

Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians under 45 — three times the female rate for men. More Australians die by suicide than in road accidents. 1 in 5 Australians experience mental illness every year. The current system treats breakdown — it does not build wellbeing. MMP funds 200 new public psychiatry positions, peer support programs, free psychology (10 sessions, zero gap), drug substitution programs, and Healing Centres in every corridor town. Community is the medicine. The Green Zone model — nature, movement, connection, purpose — is the foundation.

COST OF LIVING

Sydney's median house price is $1.4 million. Rents have risen 40% in three years — 38 consecutive months of increases. Power bills are among the highest in the developed world. Real wages have fallen three consecutive years. MMP's answer: $50,000 tax-free threshold from Day 1. Income tax falling from 30% to 20% over ten years on legislated triggers. Power legislated at 15c/kWh by end of first term. Childcare capped at $10/hr — universal, no means test. Supermarket duopoly broken with real ACCC divestiture powers. Corridor towns with homes at $150/week rent-to-buy. A Citizen Dividend from Year 5 as corridor revenue grows.

TAX REFORM

The tax-free threshold has been frozen at $18,200 since 2012. Bracket creep taxes workers harder every year without a vote. A third of large corporates paid zero tax in 2022–23. The big four banks extracted $32 billion in profits last year. MMP raises the tax-free threshold to $50,000 on Day 1. A flat 30% above that, falling to 20% over ten years. Corporate tax at 25%. A 50% bank profit levy. BAS abolished for small business. CGT overhauled — 30% on property speculation, 25% on productive business and shares. Super contributions deferred to Year 7 as income tax falls. A tax system that fits in ten pages.

SMALL BUSINESS & BANKING

No new major banking licence has been issued in 30 years. Four banks control 80% of home lending and 93% of rural lending. Farm debt has risen from $100 billion to $140 billion in four years. Credit cards charge 22% while the cash rate sits at 4%. Over 1,700 bank branches have closed in a decade — regional towns abandoned. MMP breaks the oligopoly, caps credit card rates at 14.35%, slashes tap-and-go fees, and guarantees 80% of SME loans under $500K with no personal guarantee required. New businesses pay zero income tax for three years. BAS abolished. Empty commercial buildings taxed at 2% annually to reopen main streets.

FARMERS & WATER

Water buybacks stop on Day 1. An independent review of every buyback since 1997 begins immediately. The Murray-Darling is restored — not by rationing existing farmers but by delivering new water from the north. The Alice Hub delivers 30,000 gigalitres per year from the monsoon north via gravity-fed SBC corridors — expanding the Murray-Darling Basin, creating 6.7 million new hectares of productive farmland. Freight rail at 3–5c/tonne/km replaces diesel road at 12–15c. Six abattoir closures reversed. Canola and grain processed in Australia, not exported raw. Strategic neutrality ends the trade weaponisation that has cost farmers billions in lost Chinese markets. A Farmers First Act legislated in the first 100 days.

FUEL SECURITY

Australia holds 23 days of diesel. The IEA minimum is 90 days. We are the only IEA member not meeting this obligation — and we have not met it since 2012. Seven refineries in 2003. Two left today. We export 94% of our crude and import it back as refined product at a margin. The supply chain runs through the Strait of Hormuz — one conflict away from closure. MMP builds a 90-day national reserve on Australian soil, funds 200 micro-biodiesel plants across regional Australia, fast-tracks domestic gas and tight oil approvals in Beetaloo, Cooper, Canning, and Browse, enforces the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 — ignored for 40 years — and mandates a biofuels blend. Robertson and the Central Coast run on diesel — so does every tradie, farmer, and emergency service in regional NSW. Fuel sovereignty is not optional.

DEFENCE

AUKUS commits Australia to spending $368 billion — $13,600 per Australian — on 3 to 5 nuclear submarines, with the first not delivered for 30 years. MMP cancels it. Defence spending rises to 3% of GDP — redirected to sovereign capability Australia can build, operate, and maintain: Ghost Shark autonomous drone submarines, three-sphere drone systems (land, sea, air), the Army Engineer Corps, and a mixed air force fleet. No nuclear attack submarines. No foreign wars without a public vote. National service gives every 18–20-year-old two years of paid, skilled training across six tracks — engineering, healthcare, agriculture, technology, community, and defence. The youth unemployment problem and the infrastructure workforce shortage are the same problem. National service solves both.

EDUCATION

The current system was designed for the industrial age. Compliance from age 5. Arts and music cut. Teachers buried in admin. Trades treated as a fallback, not a foundation. MMP puts an AI tutor in every student's hands — personalised, 24/7, free. Music, dance, and arts as core curriculum from Foundation to Year 10. Trades first class — HECS abolished for vocational training, free TAFE, trades-qualified instructors paid at professional rates. Teacher admin cut by 50% so teachers can teach. School funding tied to outcomes, not enrolment. University research redirected to sovereign priorities. The goal — legislated — is free education for every Australian, funded as REL revenue grows.

GAMBLING

In 2024, Australians lost $31.5 billion gambling — more than the combined household spend on electricity and gas. Pokies are not neutral entertainment. They are designed to create addiction. Western Australia never allowed pokies in pubs and clubs and has one-third the gambling harm rate of the rest of Australia. That is the model. MMP enacts all 31 recommendations of the Parliamentary Inquiry ignored for three years: pokies out of pubs and clubs, online gambling advertising banned from Day 1, mandatory pre-commitment on all machines, poker machines funded from a levy on casino and online operator profits. Problem gambling treated as a health issue — not a revenue stream.

FAMILY LAW

A Family Violence Restraining Order can be granted without the other party present or heard — ex parte. MMP limits ex parte orders to 21 days maximum, with both parties heard before any extension. Shared parenting is the default — the research on outcomes for children is unambiguous. Child support reassessed within 30 days of a proven income drop. Childcare at $10/hr, universal, no means test. 26 weeks parental leave — 8 weeks reserved for each parent. A right to disconnect from work. Granny flat construction as of right on any residential lot. Free relationship counselling before adversarial proceedings begin. A Ministry for Families with cabinet representation.

FREE SPEECH & DIGITAL RIGHTS

Australia has no constitutional guarantee of free speech. The implied freedom of political communication can be overridden by Parliament. Government misinformation legislation gives bureaucrats the power to define and compel removal of speech. Two companies — News Corp and Nine Entertainment — control the majority of Australian print and broadcast media. MMP enacts a Bill of Rights — the rights Australians thought they had, written into law so no government can remove them by decree. Open source algorithms — every platform operating in Australia must publish how content is ranked. Platform monopolies broken. Australians own their data. Age-banded social media. Internet access as essential infrastructure — delivered via SBC sovereign fibre to every corridor town.

ELECTORAL REFORM

Every donation made through a verified People's Portal — published in real time, foreign donations structurally impossible via MyGovID. A 5-year retrospective declaration — all parties, unions, and industry bodies declare every donation and ad spend from the past 5 years within 90 days. After the window: no amnesty, no statute of limitations, prosecutions forever. Truth in political advertising — same standard as commercial law, AEC rules within 48 hours. A permanent federal ICAC with genuine investigative powers. Mandatory lobbying register. Ballot counting integrity: security paper, optical scanner at every booth before the ballot box, AI second count — any divergence triggers immediate investigation, all ballot images published as open data. Fixed 4-year terms.

ENVIRONMENT & FIRST AUSTRALIANS

2,175 species are listed as threatened — a 54% increase since 2000. Feral cats kill 1.4 billion native animals per year. MMP establishes 10 conservation zones in the first term, plants one billion trees (100 million per year), and makes all national parks free for every Australian from Day 1. The SBC viaduct design — elevated 6 metres, wildlife moves freely underneath — is the first infrastructure project in Australian history designed not to fragment habitat.

$30 billion per year is spent on Indigenous programs. Only 4 of 19 Closing the Gap targets are on track. The NIAA is abolished. An independent Indigenous Advisory Council — Parliament-reporting, community-controlled — replaces it. A Traditional Owner Services Fund receives 2% of REL revenue, constitutionally guaranteed. SBC corridors connect remote communities to the national grid — power, water, fibre, and economic opportunity. 78% of Aboriginal youth in detention have not yet been convicted. That ends.

ROYAL COMMISSIONS & ACCOUNTABILITY

Eight Royal Commissions — with coercive powers, no carve-outs, full public reporting, and first commissions within 90 days of government: family law, local government, media concentration, lobbying, COVID (including vaccine decisions and lockdown authorisation), the drug epidemic, asset sales (Commonwealth Bank, Qantas, Telstra, gold), and the RBA. Parliamentary inquiries cannot compel witnesses or documents. Royal Commissions can. The questions Australia has never been allowed to ask get asked. What comes through that process will reshape this country.
