Housing
Posted on Policies by One Nation Western Australia · May 29, 2024 12:17 PMIn brief:
· Slash immigration and ban foreign buyers until supply catches up
· Slash red and green tape to build faster
· Services at cost to developers and no GST on building products
· Grow regional towns to take pressure off Perth
One Nation condemns successive governments for allowing the current housing and homelessness crisis in WA.
We believe in reducing red and green tape and to encourage more regional infrastructure development to reduce housing pressure. We will also adequately invest in emergency, short term and long-term social housing across the state.
And we are not scared to state the obvious - to reduce pressure on the housing market immediately, we just need to slow down immigration.
One Nation WA believes in cutting immigration and banning foreign home purchases until our housing market supply can catch up with demand in our state. We will also ensure state government projects and policy do not overwhelm the construction industry, as happened with WA Labor’s Metronet and Covid building bonus.
We believe in Australians owning their own home, and oppose policies that encourage the large scale purchase of housing stock by large organisations which distort the market for families.
In the short term One Nation will ensure water, power and other services are provided at cost to developers to ensure more land is unlocked, and to remove GST on building products which will make building houses cheaper.
Our Regional Development policy will also enable the growth of regional towns to reduce housing pressure in Perth.
Western Australia has huge amounts of land, almost unlimited natural resources and boundless potential, One Nation is committed to making sure every Western Australian has a roof over their head.

Cost of Living
Posted on Policies by One Nation Western Australia · May 21, 2024 8:42 AMCost of Living
In brief:
· Freeze and cut government fees and charges
· Targeted cost-of-living relief for those who need it
· Scrap net zero and allow uranium mining to boost state revenue
· Responsibly manage immigration to ease wage and housing pressure
Cost of living pressures are getting worse, interest rates are rising, and families are doing it tough.
We are one of the richest jurisdictions in the world; it should not be this way.
In the long term our polices will reduce cost of living pressures and increase the prosperity of every Western Australian. Scrapping net zero will allow local manufacturing jobs, and allowing uranium mining will give the State a huge new revenue stream.
In the short term we know that Western Australians are not doing as well as they used to. We will provide targeted relief to people who need it unlike the insulting $100 fuel payment from WA Labor. We will also make sure to deliver relief to all Western Australians by reviewing and reducing government fees and charges, and cut government waste.
Rampant population growth has also resulted in downward pressure on wages, and increasing house prices and rents. One Nation is the only party that can be trusted to responsibly manage immigration which will have a direct impact on cost of living pressures.
We will also scrap net zero policies which place immediate increased pressure on the price you pay for everything from groceries to insurance premiums.

Population Growth
Posted on Policies by Albert Gersh · January 13, 2022 3:02 PMIn brief:
· Stop considering Perth a regional Centre for migration purposes
· Discourage unmanageable population growth by reducing targets in the State Nominated Migration Program
· Ensure housing, infrastructure and services can keep up
· Defend our standard of living
WA’s experience during COVID illustrated how putting the brakes on migration reduced congestion on our roads and allowed Government services to focus on Western Australians.
One Nation WA will lobby for a a significant reduction in immigration numbers and focus on permitting only highly skilled migrants from culturally cohesive countries into Australia.
We will also advocate for Perth to be restored to capital city status and no longer be assigned as a category 2 “regional centre”, which will reduce the amount of recent migrants who move to Perth to fulfill visa requirements quicker.
One Nation wants WA to keep growing, but not at the expense of the people who are already here. We will ensure housing, infrastructure and services keep up with growth and defend our standard of living.
