Description

A plan launched by Prime Minister Scott Morrison which "sets out plainly what a re-elected Morrison Liberal Nationals Government will continue to do to keep Australians safe and secure".

The booklet highlights multiple commitments:

  • Keep our economy strong, to guarantee investments in national defence, strong borders and the safety of all Australians.
  • Defend Australia, with a 10-year program to strengthen our Navy, Army and Air Force 
  • Protect our borders, by sticking to our proven policies that stopped the boats: offshore processing, turnbacks and temporary protection visas.
  • Keep Australians safe from terrorism, especially the threat of violent, extremist Islam.
  • Secure our region and protect our sovereignty, with a high priority focus on the Indo-Pacific.
  • Keep women safe, at home and on our streets.
  • Protect our children and youth from predators, bullies and self-harm.
  • Protect Australians from criminals, by providing police and security agencies with the technology, resources and laws needed to stay one step ahead.
  • Fight the menace of drugs – especially ICE – with treatment and support programs and tougher law enforcement.
  • Support Australians in the face of natural disasters, by increasing our preparedness, response capability and resilience.
