As Australians grapple with a worsening cost of living crisis, rising inflation, and mortgage stress, the Albanese government's promises to bring inflation under control ring hollow. The report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), released Wednesday, has confirmed that Australia’s inflation is set to remain one of the highest among advanced economies, with projections that will see inflation well above 3% by the end of 2025.

While Treasurer Jim Chalmers heads to Washington for high-level talks, Australians are left wondering when real solutions will emerge. One Nation is here with a clear plan to address inflation on day one if elected, and our approach is grounded in strong, commonsense policies that will reduce inflation and stabilise our economy.

The Albanese Government Has Failed to Act

The IMF has made it clear: Australia is facing prolonged inflation, well above countries like the United States, Britain, and Canada, which are already seeing their inflation rates fall. Labor's lack of decisive action has kept inflation high, putting pressure on Australian households. While the Albanese government policies actually add fuel to the inflation fire, parties like One Nation are offering policy solutions that would bring relief to a family’s budget.

Labor's inaction and failure to make tough decisions have resulted in what the IMF warns is a dangerous economic trajectory.

One Nation’s Plan to Fight Inflation

One Nation believes in real solutions that tackle inflation at its root. A key policy in our plan is reducing immigration to sustainable levels. Currently, Australia’s open immigration policies are driving up demand for housing, services, and goods, which in turn fuels inflation. By cutting immigration numbers, we reduce pressure on the housing market and the cost of essential services, helping to bring inflation down.

It’s simple economics: fewer people competing for limited resources leads to more stable prices. One Nation will immediately move to lower immigration levels, easing the demand on housing and essential services and helping to kerb inflation.

Security Risks Posed by Chinese EVs

In addition to tackling inflation, One Nation is committed to addressing national security concerns that are being ignored by the major parties. Our open market is being flooded by cheap Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), which not only undermine Australian jobs and industries but also pose significant security risks.

According to reliable sources, Chinese EVs are equipped with technology that allows for remote control or even detonation, raising alarms about the potential for these vehicles to be used maliciously. As Australia imports more and more of these vehicles, our national security is being compromised. One Nation will take immediate action to regulate and protect Australia from this growing threat.

Day One Action: A Promise You Can Count On

While Labor and the LNP continue to focus on policies that benefit the global elite, One Nation is focused the hardworking Australians trying to make ends meet. If elected, we will act from day one to tackle inflation head-on:

1. Reduce immigration levels to relieve pressure on housing and services.
2. Cut unnecessary government spending to help stabilise the economy and reduce inflationary pressures.
3. Increase supply of housing to reduce the cost of buying or renting a home

One Nation understands the struggles Australians are facing, and we know that inflation is the biggest threat to our economic future. We need to take control of our own destiny and put Australia first. Our message is clear: give us one term, and we’ll show you what real leadership looks like.

This is your chance to make a change. Vote One Nation, and let’s fight inflation together from day one.
