Australia is meant to be the “lucky country”

We're blessed with vast natural resources, yet families are struggling under skyrocketing costs, record debt, foreign sell-offs, broken promises, and a government that seems to put ideology, politics, and foreign interests ahead of its own people. The Albanese government has failed us on every front. 

Here is a list of just some of his failures and issues that have eroded confidence in the Labor Government:

         Economic & Cost-of-Living Failures 

• Failure to bring down the cost of living - Persistent high inflation, grocery/energy/housing costs squeezing families, with little to no effective relief. 
• Interest rate hikes - Record rises under the RBA, contributing to mortgage stress, with critics blaming government spending for fuelling inflation - on the verge the 14th rate rise since May 2022. 
• Failure to deliver the promised $275 off power bills. The pre-election pledge that was later walked back or not fully realised due to market realities. 
• Pushing the country toward $1 trillion in federal gross debt. Gross debt approaching or exceeding $1 trillion (from ~$885 billion in 2022), with rising interest costs and no clear plan to reduce it, leaving a massive burden for future generations. This government doesn't save money - they take from one location and put it somewhere esle! 
• Failure to lower taxes: Overall tax-to-GDP ratio rising to the highest levels since the 1950s in some years (around 26–27% of GDP since 2022), driven by bracket creep, higher commodity revenues, and spending rather than explicit rate increases. 
• Failure to address supermarket duopoly and grocery price gouging. Despite ACCC inquiries, no effective action on Coles/Woolworths dominance, contributing to high food inflation.
  
  Energy, Resources & Sovereignty
• Fuel and energy security: Failure to secure affordable, reliable energy, leading to price volatility, gouging accusations, and reliance on volatile global markets. 
• Net Zero climate disaster: Pushing aggressive green policies (despite Australia's ~1% global emissions share), harming energy independence, jobs, and affordability. 
• Constantly selling off national resource sector to overseas investors like China. Allowing foreign ownership of mines, water rights, and farmland, raising concerns about national security, economic sovereignty, and local job losses.
• Failure to bring back Australian manufacturing. Albanese repeatedly promised to rebuild domestic manufacturing to create jobs and leverage Australia’s vast natural resource wealth (minerals, gas, oil).  Instead, we continue shipping raw materials offshore for processing, only to import finished products at a premium. This has left us dependent on foreign supply chains, weakened economic sovereignty, and squandered our status as the “lucky country”. We feel it now during the War with Iran. 
  
  Immigration, Housing & Social Issues
•  Failure to lower immigration: Record-high levels exacerbating housing shortages and infrastructure strain. 
• Failure to increase housing supply: Ongoing crisis with building approvals lagging, prices soaring, and no meaningful action to boost supply. 
• Allowing foreign investors to buy up housing. While Australians face homelessness or sleeping in cars or on the streets! Foreign buyers (including from China and India) snap up properties, exacerbating the housing crisis and driving up prices. 
• Importing immigrants to boost votes in key electorates. Allegations of high immigration levels targeted at marginal seats for political gain.
  
  Security & Social Cohesion
• ISIS brides return. Allowing repatriation of Australian ISIS-linked women and children without sufficient accountability or security measures. They could of stopped it - they chose to give them passports instead!
• Failure to act decisively on antisemitism. Slow or inadequate response to rising antisemitic incidents and heed the warnings of the community which resulted in the Bondi Terror Attack. 
• Funding mosques linked to terrorism. Claims of government grants or support to organisations with extremist ties. 
• Targeting law-abiding firearms owners after the Bondi Beach shooting. Following the December 2025 terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration (where attackers used legally owned firearms while on an ASIO watch list), the government swiftly pushed for stricter gun laws, buybacks, ownership limits, and licensing changes. Critics call it blatant overreach: punishing responsible, compliant gun owners instead of focusing on radicalisation, security lapses, or the real perpetrators.
  
  Governance, Integrity & Free Speech
• Constant gaslighting, dodging accountability (it's always someone elses fault) and lying to the Australian people. Perceived misrepresentation on debt, inflation, energy, immigration, and other issues. 
• Constant division by political affiliation. Labelling opponents "extremists," "Nazis," or far-right while preaching unity - deepening polarisation. 
• CFMEU scandal under Labor. Alleged corruption and links to construction unions and outlaw motocycle clubs, with billions in taxpayer funds potentially lost. 
• Political travel costs scandal. Allegations of excessive or improper use of taxpayer-funded travel by ministers/MPs. 
• Failure to act on NDIS rorts. Over $4.5 billion allegedly scammed through the scheme, with inadequate crackdowns on fraud. 
• Introduction of the Combating Anti-Semitism and Hate Speech Bill. Legislation aimed at curbing hate speech, but criticised for being weaponized to target political rivals and critics while not adequately addressing instances like chants of "globalise the intifada" at protests, raising concerns about selective enforcement and free speech suppression. 
• Attempt to introduce the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill. Proposed laws to regulate online "misinfo," seen as an attempt to silence debate and dissent, with the Hate Speech Bill effectively serving a similar role by broadening government control over speech. 
• Introduction of the Under 16s Social Media and Digital ID Bill. Legislation banning under-16s from social media and requiring digital ID verification on platforms for all Australians regardless of age. Forcing Australians into a digital ID system against public wishes, raising privacy, freedom, and overreach concerns. 
• The failed Voice referendum. Pushing the Indigenous Voice to Parliament despite the No vote, with some states still pursuing similar reforms. 
• Failure of transparency pledges. Promised increased openness but introduced changes to freedom of information laws without consultation, risking reduced access to government information. 
• Ignoring parliamentary inquiries and reports. Failed to respond to over 50 parliamentary committee reports within required deadlines (some overdue by 18+ months), including on terrorism, immigration, energy, and social cohesion. undermining accountability.
• Government deals with lobbying groups and big corporate donors. Deep ties and donations from major players in fuel, supermarkets, energy, mining, and banking appear to influence policy in their favour, allowing rising prices on essentials (fuel, food, power, housing) while blocking competition reforms or price controls. Critics argue this is textbook corruption by another name: big names donate, get access and favourable outcomes, and ordinary Australians pay the price through higher costs and inaction.
  
  This is not governing in the best interest of Australians - it’s overreach, mismanagement, broken promises, and erosion of trust - This is a government that is not fit to govern!
  
  We demand:
  1: A full, independent Royal Commission into systemic government corruption, integrity failures, foreign influence, economic mismanagement, and misrepresentation of the public interest. 
  2: Public hearings with powers to examine ministers, agencies, unions, corporations, and foreign ties. 
  3: An interim report within 12 months to deliver real accountability and restore trust. 
  4: Immediate suspension of controversial laws pending a review. 
  
  But most of all: 
  WE DEMAND A FAIR GO FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS! 
  
  Enough is enough!
  Sign and share this petition if you want answers, not more excuses and blame games. Australians deserve a government that serves us - not one that sells us out or divides us.
