Clearly, One Nation’s migration election policy was having a huge impact on Liberal voters, so that needed quick action.
I have isolated three Taylor-stated objectives and the One Nation policies that aim to achieve those objectives. Hanson also sets out how she will raise $90bn to fund the policies and repay debt.
Given the surge in voter support, the One Nation policies will have considerable implications for the commercial world.
Taylor’s home ownership aim is “to re-establish home ownership as the centrepiece of the Australian dream”.
These are matching Hanson policies: a five-year GST moratorium on building materials used in new homes up to a value of $1m; a review of excessive government charges that make up to 44 per cent of the cost of new homes; allowing Australians to choose their home design “without unnecessary cost burdens”; and Australian apprentices will be subsidised.
Hanson has clearly listened to the building industry and Meriton’s Harry Triguboff. They should have been Liberal policies in 2025.
Taylor’s energy aim is that Australians need a policy based on common sense – not Labor’s flawed net-zero ideology.
My colleague Colin Packham has reported that Origin Energy boss Frank Calabria believes that the cost of new towers, wires and substations will negate any enduring benefit from falling wholesale electricity prices.
That’s where Taylor must aim to cut power costs.
A One Nation policy in this area is banning renewable energy installations and transmission lines on agricultural land, or where they constitute negative impacts on native forests or animal species, or an increased bushfire risk.
That will reduce the use of high-cost renewables.
One Nation will further increase the cost of renewables by mandating that environmental rehabilitation bonds be required on all energy projects to address any impacts when equipment and infrastructure reach the end of their useful life.
High-cost renewables should be replaced with low-cost gas and coal, with nuclear generation an option.
One Nation casts doubt as to whether there is a link between carbon emissions and climate change, but Hanson does have a carbon-reduction policy and the beginnings of a bushfire strategy. It is that carbon emissions will be reduced by planting trees, which will be harvested, and the carbon stored in buildings built of Australian timber. A very restricted amount of native forest will be harvested, with carbon stored the same way. All trees harvested will be replaced to increase carbon absorption. She also helps more Australian households and small businesses to install solar panels and reduce their electricity costs.
Taylor’s tax aim: “We will ferociously fight Labor’s bad taxes – including a tax on your home, a tax on your super, a tax on you and your children’s future.”
Five Hanson tax policies are: introduce income splitting and joint tax return filing for couples with dependent children; enable aged and veteran pensioners to earn more without penalty; raise the tax-free threshold to $35,000 for self-funded retirees; halve the fuel excise for three years; and remove the excise on beer and spirits in venues.
Then there are pages setting out how to raise $90bn to pay for the policy costs and reduce debt. The major items are these.
Abolishing the Department of Climate Change and related agencies, programs and regulations ($30bn annual saving).
Abolishing the National Indigenous Australians Agency and bypassing Aboriginal organisations by providing direct grant assistance to those in need ($12.5bn saving).
Conducting a review of the functions and costs of the federal departments of education and housing to eliminate duplication with state governments.
Returning the NDIS to its original purpose of providing reasonable and necessary support.
A policy of redirecting and reducing foreign aid spending ($3bn saving).
Reviewing and reducing funding for arts and multicultural programs.
Abolishing the Therapeutic Goods Administration and rolling its essential functions into the Department of Health.
Ending the “rort” on natural gas by levying royalties at the point of production, creating a domestic gas reserve, raising up to $13bn a year.

A leaked policy document shows former opposition leader Sussan Ley and her team had prepared a comprehensive policy to tackle immigration before she was rolled last week, as first reported by news.com.au.
The policy, titled “Operation Gatekeeper,” was developed after the Bondi terror attack and includes two parts; enhanced screening and vetting in the migration process; and a plan to stop “violent extremists” from entering the country through a three-year pause on migration from “declared” terrorist regions.
