Factbox-Policies of Australia's political parties at a glance

Has pledged A$8.5 billion for an extra 18 million subsidised general practitioner visits each year as part of strengthening Medicare, the universal healthcare system, along with A$1 billion for more free-of-charge public mental health services. Has matched Labor's A$8.5 billion funding boost to Medicare, pledged A$400 million for youth mental health services, and plans to double Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions to 20 from 10.

The article from Yahoo News outlines the key policy positions of Australia's major political parties as of the 2022 federal election. The Liberal-National Coalition, led by Scott Morrison, focuses on economic recovery, job creation, and tax cuts, while also emphasizing national security and a cautious approach to climate change with a target of net zero emissions by 2050. The Australian Labor Party, under Anthony Albanese, prioritizes climate action with a more ambitious target of reducing emissions by 43% by 2030, alongside policies aimed at improving wages, healthcare, and education. The Greens advocate for even stronger climate action, aiming for net zero emissions by 2035, and push for social justice issues including affordable housing and a more progressive tax system. Other minor parties and independents also play a role, often focusing on specific issues like regional development, integrity in politics, and environmental conservation.
