Throughout my entire time in the Senate, I’ve consistently spoken on the need to restore Australia’s productive capacity through the construction of new infrastructure.
It’s a simple metric: the living standard of each Australian is expressed as our gross domestic product divided by the population. With 5 million new Australians in the last 10 years – 2.5 million under this Labor government – our gross domestic product is being split into more slices for the new arrivals faster than it is growing.
As a result, the standard of living for individual Australians is going backwards and has fallen by 8% since Labor took over. Did anyone hear Prime Minister Albanese promise in his 2022 election campaign to reduce the living standards of everyday Australians by 8%? I didn’t.
The answer to falling living standards is to reduce immigration.
The Government must also embrace the other side of the equation, which is building new infrastructure to enhance our productive capacity.
This video explains One Nation’s ‘build baby build’ policy, which we are taking to this election.

I thank Senator Rennick for this opportunity to speak about One Nation’s policies and note that, in March, his statements and policies are becoming increasingly loaded with One Nation policies that we released earlier the month before, in February. In that, it’s like Labor and the LNP too, who are copying elements of our policies.
For the entire time I’ve been in this Senate, I’ve spoken on the need to restore Australia’s productive capacity through the construction of new infrastructure. It’s a simple metric: the living standard of each Australian is expressed as our gross domestic product divided by population. With five million new Australians in the last 10 years, 2½ million of those under this Labor government, our gross domestic product is being split into new slices for the new arrivals faster than it’s growing. As a result, the standard of living of individual Australians is going backwards and has fallen by eight per cent since Labor took over. Did anyone hear Prime Minister Albanese promise in his 2022 election pitch to reduce the living standards of everyday Australians by eight per cent? I didn’t. The answer is clearly and certainly to reduce immigration, although the government must embrace the other side of that equation as well, which is building new infrastructure to grow our productive capacity.
One Nation are taking a platform to this election that includes building a national rail loop to take hundreds of thousands of truck movements off the roads, making freight handling cheaper and more efficient, reducing supermarket prices and making Australia more competitive. That’s vital in a large country with a small population; logistics is tops. Our platform also includes a new northern rail crossing from Port Hedland to Moranbah and the Port of Gladstone in Queensland to open the east Pilbara and the north-west minerals province in Queensland to the international market, facilitating exports worth hundreds of billions of dollars and tens or hundreds of thousands of breadwinner jobs. There’s also a multifunction corridor to take water, power and internet along the new northern crossing railway to bring town services to more than 100 remote communities across the Top End; Hells Gates Dam in Far North Queensland to provide flood mitigation, water security and hydropower; and the Urannah water project and pipeline, amongst others. What will be the source of these funds? There will be $90 billion from cutting waste and duplication, itemised. See our website; it’s fully costed.
Each year, we will put $40 billion of that back into people’s pockets. For example, couples with children income-splitting will save almost $10,000 a year. It’s fully costed. Each year, we will invest $20 billion in infrastructure to increase productive capacity to increase our children’s wages. Each year, we will pay down record debt of $30 billion, which is estimated to become $50 billion the year after next per year, to reduce interest. Only through building our productive capacity can we hope to provide for the millions of new arrivals, generate new government revenue from increased economic activity and restore wealth and opportunity to all who call this beautiful country home.
Important work – much appreciated
In my estimation the this Election is like to find our country facing a 7 year Tribulation
It could be before or after April that
The Tribulation starts.
That is the beginning of worlds equal and opposites colliding.
This will happen , like or lump it
Every one w I’ll be doing the later.
Your. Not listening or reading sound advice. That’s why we are in a mess.
Financially and Politically

Restoring Australia’s productive capacity through the construction of new infrastructure is a step in the right direction and the answer is clearly and certainly to reduce better still stop immigration . Australia ,,, “ Has become a crap piece of festered real estate due to imported shite from despot countries around the globe , a rubbish tip of faeces from the planets arsehole “ and it’s all due to the way it has been run and the ones running it , namely the corrupt Labor and liberal governments . The lifestyle of average Australians is 3rd world and seemingly yet unaware of this accept it for what it is . We have to look at countries eg ; Japan they don’t let rubbish in and then take a look at GB and Europe’s

Your policies make so much sense. No surprise the reds and blues are picking up on them. I can guarantee if elected neither will have the courage to implement any of your plans. Keep on making the right noises, hopefully we in the electorates will take notice and vote for common sense,David.
On Australia’s Living Standard Decline, thank you Mr. Malcolm, straight to the point, powerful statement.
Top Idea the transport corridor across Northern Australia> It will put the fizz back into a once booming part of Queensland and open up new areas in Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. Providing Jobs and infrastructure To many Isolated communities Inland.
Great speech once again Malcolm, it must gall you to have your policies stolen by less competent people.
The need for more and better coal infrastructure is compelling, but the Liberals don’t seem to have the guts
to take the energy fight to Labor or their spasdic back-door associates the Greens. Let’s hope the coalition
needs to govern with PHON support, then you can get your priority policies enacted sooner!
Keep up the great work mate!
