Demand an Early Federal Election: Australia Deserves Better
Australians deserve a government that protects our rights, supports hardworking families, manages public money responsibly, and puts the interests of its people first.

We are calling for an early federal election because of growing concerns about the direction Australia is heading and the lack of meaningful action on issues affecting everyday Australians.

1. Protect Sex-Based Rights

Clearly define biological sex in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 to protect women's and men's rights, privacy, safety, and opportunities. Ensure lawful female-only spaces, sporting opportunities, and services can operate with clear legal protections. Review the accountability of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

2. Support Small Businesses

Reduce excessive red tape, tax burdens, and operating costs. Address merchant fees and improve payment options for businesses meeting their tax obligations. Small businesses should be supported to grow and employ Australians, not burdened with increasing costs.

3. Reform Tobacco Excise

Review excessive tobacco excise, which may contribute to the growing illicit tobacco market. Consider reducing excise, tackling organised crime, improving enforcement accountability, and reviewing the policy on menthol cigarettes.

4. Restore Housing Affordability

Hold the government accountable for its election commitments concerning negative gearing, superannuation, and inheritance taxation. Prioritise housing supply and policies that help first-home buyers enter the market.

5. Address Homelessness

Working Australians should not have to sleep in cars or tents because they cannot afford rent. Increase public and social housing, expand genuinely affordable rentals, improve homelessness services, reduce housing waiting lists, and address homelessness in cities and regional communities.

6. Control Inflation and Government Spending

Review wasteful government expenditure and unnecessary programs. Improve transparency, reduce spending that delivers little public benefit, and adopt responsible fiscal policies that avoid adding unnecessary inflationary pressure.

7. Raise Revenue Responsibly

Ensure Australians receive a fair return from mining and gas resources rather than continually increasing pressure on workers and small businesses. Review resource taxation, reduce government waste, and align population growth with housing, infrastructure, and essential services.

8. Protect Freedom of Speech

Ensure duty-of-care and related legislation does not unnecessarily restrict lawful expression or political debate. Protect Australians' ability to question government decisions, express opinions, and hold elected representatives accountable.

Our Demand: An Early Federal Election
Australians deserve accountable leadership, affordable housing, thriving small businesses, responsible economic management, protected rights, and freedom of expression.

We call on federal political leaders to support a democratic path towards an early election in accordance with Australia's constitutional and parliamentary processes.

Our country belongs to its people. Our voices deserve to be heard. Our future deserves better.

SIGN THIS PETITION AND DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY, REFORM, AND AN EARLY FEDERAL ELECTION.
