- Workers’ Rights – protect wages and conditions including penalty rates, and campaign for secure jobs;
- Defend Medicare – no new fees to visit the doctor, and proper funding for hospitals;
- Highest Quality Education – restore funding to schools and TAFE; no $100,000 university degrees;
- Public ownership of public services – proper funding to make them work; and an end to privatisation which has brought job cuts and higher prices, and helped only the private companies involved;
- A Secure Retirement – decent pensions and superannuation;
- A Fair Go For All – support our industries in generating skilled jobs, make multinationals and the wealthy pay fair taxes.
