United Australia Party registration approved
United Australia Party Chairman Clive Palmer has confirmed the party's registration with the Australian Electoral Commission has now been approved, clearing the way for the party to contest the next federal election.
Mr Palmer said the United Australia Party would run candidates in every lower house electorate as well as all senate contests across the country.
"It is time for change. Australians deserve leadership focused on prosperity, opportunity and the long-term future of our nation," Mr Palmer said.
Mr Palmer said the United Australia Party, which has about 80,000 members nationwide, would campaign on what he described as "priorities for prosperity" designed to address rising living costs and economic stagnation.
"The United Australia Party has real policies that will make a difference to our country," he said.
"These are not populist slogans. They are policies designed to provide solutions, grow the economy and create wealth for all Australians."
Mr Palmer said the party's policy platform, outlined in the New Deal for Australia, included measures aimed at reducing energy costs by allowing all forms of energy generation to compete, increasing the supply of Australian gas for domestic use and lowering the overall cost of living.
The policy framework also proposes major investment to increase housing supply and support home ownership, alongside broader economic reforms aimed at strengthening Australian industry and encouraging greater investment in the domestic economy.
Mr Palmer said the plan also addressed population pressures, regional development and long-term national finances.
"Our focus is on policies that put Australians first, support regional communities and ensure our national resources benefit the Australian people," he said.
Mr Palmer said the United Australia Party would present a genuine alternative to the major parties at the next election.
"It's time to stop the rot in Australian politics. A new era is coming," he said.
