TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK UP: Gerard Rennick
While everyone’s losing their mind over One Nation, there’s a bloke barely getting a mention who actually says what he means.
Gerard Rennick. Former Queensland Senator. Accountant by trade. Started in the LNP, lost his Senate preselection in 2023, fought it through an internal appeal and then the Supreme Court, and after that failed, started his own show — the People First Party.
Here’s what he’s actually fighting for. Read it and judge for yourself.
Tax that backs the battler
- Lift the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $45,000 — around $4,000 back in your pocket
- Cut company tax to 12% to keep jobs and money onshore
- Make the first $25,000 of super tax-free
- Cap negative gearing at $5,000 per person
- Hit the multinationals shipping profits offshore with a 20% withholding tax
Backing families and everyday Aussies
- Childcare subsidies paid direct to parents — you choose the care
- Bring back a public bank so branches stay open and people can actually bank
Cutting the waste
- Make super voluntary — your money, your call
- A Federal Convention to end the duplication between state and federal bureaucracies
- Take an axe to government waste
Standing up for the country
- Wind back mass immigration
- Drop net zero, leave the Paris Agreement, back coal, gas and nuclear
- Pull out of the WHO
- Defend free speech against new speech-restriction laws
Agree with all of it or not, that’s not the point. The point is he holds a position and sticks to it, even when it cuts against his own side. How many in Canberra can you say that about?
The majors have spent years saying whatever keeps them in the chair. This bloke’s been saying the same thing whether anyone’s listening or not.
I’m not telling you who to vote for. I’m saying he’s worth a look, because someone in this country should be.
Who else have you seen actually stand for something lately?
What’s your thoughts…?

CORRECTION: An earlier version said Rennick “walked away when it stopped standing for anything.” That’s not accurate, he lost LNP preselection in 2023, challenged it (including in the Supreme Court), and formed People First in 2024 only after that failed. Corrected, with thanks to the reader who pulled me up.
