Childcare flexibility and support; because family is everything.

How would this policy help you?

We agree; and that’s why we’re behind Gerard Rennick People First Party.

WHY DOES A BLOKE WITH ACTUAL COSTED IDEAS GET NOWHERE?

Gerard Rennick sat in the Senate for six years. Accountant. Master’s in tax law. Twenty-five years in senior finance before politics.

Here’s what he actually put on the table.

Lift the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $45,000, about $4,000 back in the pocket of every low and middle income earner. Cut company tax to 12% to keep jobs and money onshore. Make the first $25,000 of your super tax-free. Cap negative gearing at $5,000 per person. Hit the multinationals shipping profits offshore with a 20% withholding tax.

Costed. Published. Detailed.

He got under 1% of the national vote and lost his seat.

Meanwhile the duopoly rolls on. Same faces. Same donors. Same three-word slogans.

Same blooming result for you and me.

Here’s the bit that should stop you. In 2021 he proposed taxing capital gains on owner-occupied homes sold above $2 million. Think about that. A conservative bloke going after the sacred cow, on his own side of politics. Nobody chasing votes does that.

You only do that if you actually believe something.

He crossed the floor against his own party 19 times. He withheld his vote from his own government over vaccine mandates. It cost him preselection. He sued, lost, walked out, and started again from scratch.

I don’t trust Labor or Liberal. Not in any way, shape or form. Look at who’s actually behind them, I’ve done the digging and it’s all there in my research. Rennick’s a groundbreaker, and everything he’s challenged is exactly what those two shoved down our throats.

Where he pushes a claim I can’t verify, I’ll say so, same as I would with anyone. But standing up to the duopoly isn’t a flaw. It’s the whole blooming point.

So here’s my question, and I want you to sit with it.

Why is it that the bloke with the actual costed policies gets nowhere, while the parties with nothing but focus groups and photo ops keep getting your vote?

That’s not a Rennick problem. That’s a you and me problem.

The system doesn’t reward good ideas. It rewards machines, money and media. Rennick is the proof.

Have a look at him yourself. Make up your own mind.

Cold hard facts. Sourced. Corrected when wrong.

What’s your thoughts…?

A tax reform overhaul is absolutely necessary in our country.

What are your thoughts?

Do you think the fee increase is enough? Or beleive our policy of increasing it to $20,000 is a better amount.

What do you think?

Last week in parliament, the Labor party lifted the price of a student visa from $2,000 to $5,000.

Whilst a move in the right direction it is nowhere near enough. Given students can stay for 4 years or around 200 weeks, $5,000 only works out at $25 a week which is very little when you think of the demands placed on infrastructure by each student.

People First already had a policy to lift student visa fees to $20,000 or approximately $100 a week.

To be honest given the amount paid to the Universities to earn a degree (sometimes over $100,000) I'm thinking it should even be higher.

The money raised by increasing international student fees will go towards funding more apprenticeships and reducing International student numbers.

We don't just have a problem with the number of International students in Australia, the quality of tertiary education has declined dramatically as well. See below 👇

Universities really need to focus on training Australians in courses that are needed.

It's absurd how far behind Australia is when it comes to technology and innovation.

“International students who cannot speak “basic English” are walking away from Australian universities with prestigious degrees, academics say, a situation one described as “mind-blowing”.

More than a dozen academics and students who spoke to Guardian Australia, most on the condition of anonymity, said the universities’ financial reliance on foreign students over many years had hollowed out academic integrity and threatened the international credibility of the sector.

A tutor in an arts subject at a leading sandstone university said in recent years the number of overseas students in her classes – who may pay up to $300,000 in upfront costs – had reached as high as 80%."

We need to unlock Superannuation to Australians.

What do you think?

Remember the saying "By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy?"

Well, that is exactly what compulsory superannuation will do.

This week, the CGT changes were passed in Parliament by Labor.

A last-minute deal was done with the Greens to stop Self-Managed Super Funds from buying investment property by using non-recourse loans.

What's wrong about this is that Industry and Retail funds can still buy investment property. As can foreigners through Labour’s Build to Rent scheme.

So in other words you can't use your own savings to pay off your house, but the superannuation grifters can use it to rent houses to you.

This is just another example of how superannuation is making life harder for Australians.

All the major parties, including One Nation, support compulsory superannuation.

Compulsory superannuation centralises wealth into the hands of unelected fund managers. It is communism, plain and simple.

The Australian People's Party (ie People First) is the only party that is prepared to unlock superannuation by allowing the Australian people to manage it themselves rather than Labour Party hacks who will use it to own you.

🎙️SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: People First Party is merging with the Citizens Party to form - The Australian Peoples Party!

While we share this exciting news of merging two minor parties, we know the media won’t publicise this. That’s why we - the People - need to watch, listen and share where the mainstream media chooses to hide, and only share what suits their own agenda and narrative.

It’s upto us to shake things up and keep the majors accountable.

Keep watching this space!

Did you know we were merging?
