Have Your Say: Federal Election on 3rd May 2025

 

The Election has been called the election for Saturday 3rd May.

The world has thrown a lot at Australia these last few years. By working together, we’ve lowered inflation, got wages moving, delivered a tax cut for every taxpayer, delivered energy bill relief and opened new free Medicare Urgent Care Clinics, we’re starting to turn a corner.

The future we want for our country is in your hands now. That’s why this election matters.

A re-elected Labor government will keep delivering for you by:

  • Strengthening Medicare with more bulk billing GPs and Medicare Urgent Care Clinics so all Australians can see a doctor for free
  • Continue the largest housing build in Australia’s history
  • Make TAFE free and cut HECS debts by 20% to make sure we can train the workers we need
  • Deliver real cost of living relief
