Take Back Australia: The Manifesto In Brief

20 August 2025

2.1 MINS

Nation First summarises its four-part policy manifesto to get Australia back on track.

This is an abbreviation of the manifesto to Take Back Australia:

They sold us out.

They flogged our farms, our water, our ports, our power, and our minerals.

They gutted our industries, flooded our labour market, priced our kids out of homes, and told us to “trust the global economy.”

Enough. Here’s how we take it all back.

Sovereignty First

  • Ban foreign ownership of critical assets: In 5 years, every port, railway, power grid, and water licence must be 100% Aussie-owned. Foreign buyers forced to sell.
  • Farmland for Australians only: No more selling Aussie soil to overseas corporations or foreign governments. Set a divestment deadline.
  • Take back our minerals: Mines in Aussie hands, royalties staying here, and processing done here.
  • National fuel security: Refineries back onshore, 6 months of fuel stockpiled, and no dependence on foreign tankers.
  • Rebuild a merchant navy: Aussie ships with Aussie crews moving our goods so we’re never stranded in a crisis.
  • Aussie-first procurement: Every government contract for roads, schools, hospitals, and defence must go to Aussie companies first.

An Economy for Our People

  • Bring back manufacturing: Tariffs and rules to protect steel, machinery, vehicles, fertiliser, and shipbuilding until we’re strong again.
  • Stop being a quarry: No more shipping raw ore and gas overseas for pennies. Refine and process them here.
  • Back the battlers in small business: Slash red tape, lower taxes for Aussie-owned family businesses, and kill off monopoly power.
  • Cut mass immigration: Train Aussies first. No more flooding the labour market with cheap foreign workers while our kids can’t get a start.
  • Fair trade only: Rip up deals that sell us out. Only trade on terms that protect Aussie jobs and industries.

Communities and Families

  • Homes for Australians: Ban foreign ownership of houses and apartments. Slash immigration until supply catches up. Release surplus government land for housing.
  • Jobs in the regions: Tax breaks for businesses that set up in country towns. Move federal departments out of Canberra and Sydney into the bush.
  • Secure work: Resource projects must hire locals first. Apprenticeships for Aussie kids written into every big contract.
  • Put families first: Bigger tax deductions for kids, better support for stay-at-home parents, and stop policies that push both parents into full-time work just to get by.
  • Protect our values: Schools teaching Aussie history, respect for family and community, and pride in our nation’s heritage.

Energy and Resources

  • Reliable, affordable power: Coal, gas, and nuclear stay in the mix until renewables can do the job without blackouts or price hikes.
  • Refine our own critical minerals: Lithium, cobalt, and rare earths processed in Australia, not sent offshore to be turned into profits for China.
  • Limit raw exports where possible: No more exporting only unprocessed resources. Add value here, create jobs here.
  • Fuel security: Aussie-owned refineries producing petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel onshore.
  • Australian stewardship of the land: Kick foreign-funded NGOs out of resource policy. Land management by Australians, for Australians.

This is not complicated. This is common sense.

It’s about giving Australia back to Australians.

The pollies won’t do it. The media will ignore it. The elites will fight it.

So it’s on us.

Join the fight. Share the plan. Demand action. Let’s take back Australia.

    A terrific manifesto, George. Will the globalists at the WEF, the WHO and the UN ever allow it to come to pass? For that matter will the so-called centre right coalition of the Libs and Nats ever adopt any of these sensible position.? Sadly, I think not.
    Will the 5 or 6 Conservative Parties in Australia ever realise that they simply must join forces to arrest the frightening decline on all fronts in our nation? Even that looks very unlikely.

    Sounds good. I’d make a couple of slight modifications, but only slight.
    Let’s do it!

    Excellent analysis, George. Surely all of us who are Christians ought to be asking God to give us humility before Him, to revive our love for Him. Then we should be daily pleading before Him for Australia, for our governments, that we will turn to Him in repentance and truth, & that He will have mercy on our precious country.
    God is still Sovereign, and with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE

    The elephant in the room is the control of labour by the unions. Our production costs are way too high the cost of power and labour and strangulation with restrictions make us no longer viable

    Great manifesto George. If Australia implemented these we would be in a much better situation.
