WHERE THE PARTIES STAND

Nine categories are published so far — immigration, Israel and Palestine, AUKUS, energy, tax, housing, homelessness, royal commissions and transparency, and health and Medicare. Each row is a decision a parliament actually takes, and the tag under the issue name says which parliament takes it — a state member cannot legislate a migration cap, and a federal member cannot rewrite a restraining order Act. Sovereign Australia’s column is drawn from the party’s own published platform and policy pages; every other column is drawn from that party’s own material.

Immigration

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: ten questions across four parties →

Caps, students, housing, values tests, deportation, citizenship waits and the humanitarian intake — compared from the 2026–27 Budget papers, Home Affairs planning levels, the ABS migration release and each party’s own statements. Sovereign Australia’s column is open: the position is in development, and the commitment already made is to publish arrivals, departures, visa holders and Australians abroad as live data for everyone on the People’s Portal.

Israel and Palestine

Checked August 2026 · Full comparison: eight federal issues, the law, and the state governments →

AUKUS

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: the pact, the boats, the cost, the bases and the alternative →

The pact, the submarines, the $368 billion, US forces at HMAS Stirling and the question of sovereignty — compared from the agreement documents, Defence announcements and each party’s own statements. Sovereign Australia’s position: AUKUS repositioned, not cancelled — the same yards and workforce redirected to sovereign capability, and AUASIA in its place.

Energy and Climate

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: targets, prices, coal, nuclear and fuel security →

The targets, the price of a kilowatt hour, coal, nuclear and the fuel in the tank — compared from platforms, releases and parliamentary votes. Sovereign Australia’s position: price first — a legislated 10 cents a kilowatt hour for households and small business, coal decided by the market, no nuclear, and fuel Australia makes.

Tax and Cost of Living

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: income tax, capital gains, GST, royalties and relief →

Income tax, the capital gains and negative gearing fight, corporate tax, the GST, resource royalties and cost-of-living relief — compared from platforms, budget papers and parliamentary votes. Sovereign Australia’s position: a $50,000 tax-free threshold, one resource levy in place of eight regimes, and relief that operates on the cost rather than the price.

Housing

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: supply, tax settings, first home buyers and renters →

Supply, the tax settings, first home buyers and renters — compared from platforms, budget papers and parliamentary votes. Sovereign Australia’s position: three new rungs below the house — Community Towns, commercial conversion and corridor towns — and a tax system rebuilt around productive investment.

Homelessness

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: the approach, the rental exit, crisis housing and the measure →

The approach, the exit into a rental, crisis housing and what is measured — compared from platforms, releases and funding agreements. Sovereign Australia’s position: Housing First in every major city and regional centre, a Commonwealth bond guarantee for people exiting homelessness, and healing towns for the most complex cases.

Royal Commissions & Transparency

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: the commissions, COVID-19, media and lobbying, and the machinery →

The commissions on the table, the COVID-19 question, media and lobbying, and the standing transparency machinery — compared from the parliamentary record. Sovereign Australia’s position: seven Royal Commissions in the first term — the Sunlight Agenda — with full coercive powers, no carve-outs, and the first within 90 days.

Health & Medicare

Checked 27 August 2026 · Full comparison: bulk billing, mental health, dental, prevention and the measure →

Bulk billing and the GP, mental health, dental and the PBS, prevention, and what is measured — compared from platforms, budget papers and Medicare data. Sovereign Australia’s position: bulk billing restored through independently set rebates, obesity fixed at source through education, ten free mental-health sessions, and dental into Medicare.

Positions summarised from party platforms, releases, statements and parliamentary votes as at August 2026. “No stated position” and “no detailed policy” mean none found on the public record, not indifference. One Nation’s positions are drawn from speeches and Senate interventions rather than a published platform. Labor’s and the Coalition’s are government and opposition positions respectively and may move. On rows marked State, a party column refers to that party’s state branch or state government, not the federal party. This table states each party’s position, not this party’s characterisation of it. The full comparison — all eight federal issues, the six laws that govern foreign influence and the gap in each, and the state governments side by side — is at Israel and Palestine: the full comparison. The party position in full is Memo 11.

Still to come

Categories are published as each one is verified row by row. Still to be checked and added: mental health, family, education, children online and social media, media and free speech, defence and AUKUS, gambling, First Australians, farming and water, small business, tobacco and vapes, cannabis, AI, environment.

Sovereign Australia’s position on each of those is already published on its own policy page and in the platform — the work is verifying what every other party has said, one row at a time. Where a party has said nothing on the public record, this page says so. A cell is never filled from memory.
