Election 2025 cements Australia’s path to social and economic crisis.

Devoid of leadership, harmful gender fluid ideology is here to stay as is the vandalism of our electricity supply and environment by net zero.

Protection for faith-based schools is again squibbed by both sides of politics.

The Coalition and Labor are beholden to an emboldened and aggressive LGBTIQA+ political movement.

Economically, families’ prosperity is cruelled by politicians’ acquiescence to the climate cult.

Energy is in everything and if the cost goes up, so does everything.

We’ve gone from the cheapest electricity in the OECD to amongst the most expensive.

On housing, unrestrained immigration and government regulation has locked a generation out of the Australian dream.

Resentment among the young is building.

Only politicians through their negligence could orchestrate a housing affordability crisis on the most de-populated continent after Antarctica.

No wonder we face demographic collapse with a birthrate of 1.4 (2.1 is replacement) – young couples don’t feel financially secure enough to marry and form families.

Yet a revolution of common sense could restore our economic promise and liberate us from the gender ideology which is harming our children and trashing our freedoms.

Peter Dutton’s timidity has lost him the chance to pull Australia out of a mess which is the making of both sides of politics but exacerbated greatly by arguably the worst federal government in our history.

We face $1 trillion in debt and federal deficits as far as the eye can see. Neither side of politics has presented a pathway out of the dark economic cave that threatens to keep inflation, taxes and interest rates high.

Now the credit ratings agencies are sounding the alarm but we amble to the polls oblivious to the real issues facing the nation.

Instead of policy on what matters, the Coalition and Labor have offered a suite of electoral bribes.

Borrowing money to pay for cost-of-living measures such as “energy relief” or “relief at the bowser” is tinkering while the ship sinks.

Like fools who delight in free stuff we don’t get that our “cost of living relief” from Petter Dutton and Anthony Albanese is on the credit card.

We and our kids will pay it off with crippling interest.

But no one will level with the Australian people and tell them the climate crusade has destroyed our electricity system and we need to change course urgently.

Just ask the Spanish and Portugues.

The Iberian Peninsula was plunged into darkness a week after they boasted an all-renewables grid.

When it comes to the greatest moral challenge of our time, Labor want more abortions and the Coalition has gagged its candidates and parliamentarians from talking about it.

Even though babies are killed and 10 per cent of women are harmed by the abortion drug mifepristone, the mantra “abortion is healthcare” reigns unchallenged.

The culture of death is entrenched.

Both sides of politics and other minor parties like One National and the Libertarians now see euthanasia as part of our health system.

Our politics is devoid of moral leadership.

We had all hoped for more at this election – particularly from the Coalition.

But the Liberals are not the party of Menzies, Howard and Abbott.

It’s the party of Turnbull, Morrison and Fraser.

The leader of Nationals, David Littleproud, is no John Anderson.

The Coalition will lose on Saturday but if it picks up seats like Gilmour, Ryan, Chisolm and Brisbane it will continue its drift to the radical left.

That’s because Andrew Constance, Maggie Forrest, Tim Wilson and Trevor Evans are all signed up to net zero, LGBTIQA+ and abortion.

Wining seats back from the Greens and Teals (and in Constance’s case Labor) will make them heroes with huge moral authority within the Coalition.

Deference to the climate, rainbow and death cults will be further baked into the supposedly conservative side of politics.

It goes without saying that this melancholy analysis of Australia’s political crisis is why Family First is back at a federal election for the first time in nine years.

Still in a re-build phase, we are pleased to be fielding 100 candidates across mainland eastern and southern Australia.

This is the sixth largest number of candidates of any party contesting this election.

Our candidates have a vision for a better future that involves prosperity through responsibly tapping our abundance of resources (including emissions-free nuclear).

Our candidates have a vision for flourishing families where mums and dads can afford a home and have the choice, free of government interference, to send their kids to a faith-based school, or indeed home school.

Our candidates want to end the harm of gender-fluid ideology and let girls be girls and boys be boys.

Our candidates reject the culture of death because life and caring for it, while challenging, is what gives humans dignity.

Hopes that the 2025 election would begin to reverse Australia’s decline are gone.

But hopes for a political movement for family, faith, freedom and life are rising.

Thanks to committed volunteers, donors and people who pray, Family First will not rest until the social and economic needs of families are again at the centre of public policy.

Strong families make strong nations.

This is what will make Australia great again.

Political leadership to achieve this is what Australia needs.
