SBSE - Policies & Issues

The Economy

Overhauling the tax system and adopting a responsible approach to structural budget repair that reduces deficit and establishes a lasting, long-term economic strategy based on sound economic principles.

Affordable Housing

Keeping home ownership within reach of everyday Australians, through more affordable housing options to reduce the cost of living and improve opportunities for more families and young people to buy their own home.

Small Business

Increased emphasis on the needs of small contractors by continued cuts to red-tape and regulation.

The Workplace

Our industrial relations system must be balanced, fair and simple, starting with the re-establishment of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) to tackle the ongoing unlawful industrial behaviour in the building and construction industry.

Infrastructure & Investment

Greater cooperation between public and private sectors to fund investment in urban and regional infrastructure.

Jobs & Skills

Better investment in skills and apprenticeship training to satisfy the growing demand for construction and trade skills, and to avoid future skill and labour shortages.
