About Us

Our mission 

Our goal is to restore our party’s position as the people’s watchdog in Senate.  


Our movement  

We represent Australians of all walks of life, and favour pragmatism over ideology.


Our policies  

We believe policy proposals should be judged on merit, without reference to left or right. We use the acronym "WE CARE" to sum up the issue areas we focus on. These are outlined further below.

Our young face an uncertain future – with your help we can make a real difference.
