Policy
Evidence of support
Support level
Budget management
Give the anti-corruption commission more funding and powers
This policy would increase funding and extend the investigative powers of Victoria’s Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), which investigates public-sector corruption and police misconduct. (Source) This policy would provide additional funding beyond the September 2026 reforms now allow IBAC to investigate serious misconduct beyond criminal offences and trace public money through private contractors and subcontractors. (Source) IBAC investigates serious corruption, including the misuse of public money, (Source) so giving it more funding is intended to help save public funds over time.
We could not find any One Nation statement on IBAC’s powers or funding, or how their MP, Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell, voted on the September 2026 IBAC bill. One Nation’s Victorian campaign focuses on crime and corruption, (Source) but their October 2026 policy booklet also does not mention IBAC. Instead, they have called for royal commissions with “real powers” to investigate the Big Build and the COVID response. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “We have been very vocal about tackling corruption this election. We are going to establish two Royal Commissions, increasing IBAC powers makes sense as well.”
Budget management
Significantly reduce the size of the public service
This policy would reduce the number of staff in Victoria’s government departments and agencies, focusing on back-office roles, through a 10-year hiring freeze and natural attrition. (Source) It claims savings of about $2.2 billion a year on average, compared with about $1.25 billion a year estimated by the Silver Review, an independent review of Victoria’s public service, which the government has partly committed to acting on. (Source)
One Nation Victoria strongly supports reducing the size of the Victorian public service in their The Real Deal policy booklet (p. 32-33) and policy website. (Source) (Source) They explicitly propose the idea of removing jobs from the “bureaucratic layer at the top” while increasing the number of roles in frontline worker roles (“police, teachers, nurses, paramedics or firefighters”). They also propose creating a sunset review system for public service agencies where each agency is wound up on an expiry date unless Parliament explicitly votes for it to continue operating.
Budget management
Increase taxes on gambling, including pokies, online betting and casinos
This policy would require gambling businesses to pay more tax on revenue from online betting, poker machines and casino games in Victoria. These activities are taxed separately, so implementing the policy would involve changes to several tax rates. (Source) Current gambling tax revenue is forecast at $2.9 billion in 2026–27. (Source) This policy would also end the arrangement that directs half of Victoria’s wagering and betting tax revenue to the racing industry, keeping that money in the state budget instead. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to taxation and the gambling industry, (Source) including in public statements and voting records. In June 2026, One Nation attempted to preserve access to R&D tax offsets for gambling-related activities. (Source) Based on their statement below, we assess them as strongly opposing this policy.
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “We recognise the importance of the Racing industry in Victoria and wouldn’t want to weaken the economic benefits it brings to the state, especially to the Regions.”
Budget management
Scale back the Suburban Rail Loop
This policy would reduce the scope of Suburban Rail Loop (SRL), while continuing to build the underground rail line between Cheltenham and Box Hill. (Source) Underground connections to existing stations at Box Hill and Glen Waverley would be replaced by surface transfers, alongside cuts to pedestrian bridges, a second entrance at Clayton and some parking and precinct works. (Source) This policy is targeting $2 billion in total savings: approximately $1 billion from these changes and a further $1 billion to be identified through an independent technical review.
One Nation Victoria explicitly supports the full cancellation of the Suburban Rail Loop project per their Transport and Infrastructure policy. (Source)
Housing
Build 80,000 new social housing dwellings over the next decade
This policy would build 80,000 new public and community homes in Victoria over ten years, (Source) with interim milestones to track progress, (Source) through steady direct investment in public housing and grants to community housing organisations. It aims to lift social housing from 3% of Victoria’s housing stock, the lowest share of any state or territory, (Source) to the national average of 4.5%. (Source) Social housing includes both public housing (run by government) and community housing (run by not-for-profits). (Source) (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies on building social housing. Adjacent policies in their platform include “incentives for private and community-sector organisations to deliver more low-cost housing,” (Source) and Victorian One Nation leader Warren Pickering has said they would trial land tax exemptions for landlords who lease homes to the state or community housing providers. (Source) Federally, Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts voted against the Housing Australia Future Fund legislative package, which established a fund to finance social and affordable housing, in September 2023. (Source) Roberts also moved an amendment arguing that housing expenditure could not resolve the crisis without reducing immigration. (Source)
Housing
Replace upfront stamp duty on residential properties with a yearly land tax
This policy would gradually phase out upfront stamp duty on homes and replace it with a yearly land tax on all residential properties, based on the value of the land. Under this policy, land tax would likely also apply to the home people live in, which is currently exempt. (Source) Infrastructure Victoria recommends making this change using a long-term approach “to avoid disruptions to government revenue and the housing market”. (Source) Victoria is already switching commercial and industrial properties from stamp duty to a land tax over ten years. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to stamp duty on residential properties. (Source) However, One Nation Victoria’s Cost of Living policy says they would “wind back Labor’s land tax increases on rental properties and small property owners”, claiming they are a significant reason that rents have risen. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “Replacing the upfront fee may relieve some of the burden and make it easier for relocation, downsizing and gives the Gov a steady revenue. Would need more investigation.”
Housing
Cap yearly rent increases at the rate of inflation
This policy would cap yearly rent increases at the rate of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. The cap would apply to the property rather than the tenancy, so landlords could not evict a tenant to reset the rent at a higher level. (Source) The ACT is the only Australian jurisdiction with a similar policy, where landlords need the tenant’s written agreement or tribunal approval for rent increases that exceed Canberra’s rental inflation rate by more than 10%. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to a cap on yearly rent increases. (Source) However, federal One Nation leader, Senator Pauline Hanson, has been historically critical about governments intervening in how rent is priced, tweeting: “Queensland’s Labor government has joined other states in limiting rent increases to once a year, after considering a cap on rent increases. And we all know the Greens want a national rent freeze, which is just about the dumbest policy ever proposed in this place [...] don’t tell people what they can charge for accommodation.” (Source) For this reason, we consider One Nation to strongly oppose any caps or interventions related to rent pricing.
Housing
Raise the foreign purchaser duty on residential property
This policy would raise the foreign purchaser additional duty above its current rate of 8%. (Source) Foreign buyers would pay this duty on top of normal land transfer duty, on the share of a residential property they buy. (Source) A federal ban stops most foreign buyers from purchasing established homes until 30 June 2029, (Source) so the higher duty would mainly apply to new homes.
Energy
Extend the operating life of coal-fired power stations
This policy would involve the state government taking steps to keep one or more of Victoria’s coal-fired power stations generating electricity beyond their planned closure dates, such as through financial support, agreements with operators or changes to regulations. Yallourn is scheduled to close in mid-2028 and Loy Yang A in June 2035, so extending their operating lives would mean changing those plans and arrangements with their operators. (Source)(Source)
One Nation Victoria’s Energy policy commits to encouraging “investment into upgrading coal power infrastructure.” (Source) Victorian One Nation leader Warren Pickering announced in August that if elected, One Nation Victoria would not allow coal-fired power station Loy Yang A to close in 2035 as planned. (Source) At the time of the announcement, Pickering confirmed One Nation Victoria had not discussed this with the owner of the coal-fired power station or costed this policy. One Nation’s federal leader, Senator Pauline Hanson, has also been vocally supportive of coal as an energy source, and critical in recent months of decisions to block extensions to existing coal mines. (Source)
Energy
Support households to switch from gas to electric alternatives
This policy would use public funding to help incentivise households replace gas appliances for heating, hot water and cooking, with efficient electric alternatives. Support could take the form of rebates, discounts, zero-interest loans or installation assistance, including for rooftop solar, battery storage and emerging plug-in solar and battery technologies. Victoria already offers discounts on heat pumps and cooktops through the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. (Source)(Source)
One Nation has committed to “scrap all net-zero targets and subsidies” and to reverse the ban on gas connections in new homes, saying “Victorians should be free to choose the energy source that works best for them”. (Source) In August 2026, Victorian One Nation leader Warren Pickering has also stated that gas will play a significant role in the state’s future energy mix. (Source)
Energy
Build transmission to connect renewable energy to homes and businesses
This policy would build new electricity transmission lines — high-voltage power lines that carry electricity over long distances from wind farms and solar farms to the local networks that supply homes and businesses. (Source) Planned projects include the Western Renewables Link, a proposed 190-kilometre line from near Ararat in western Victoria to Melbourne’s north-west. (Source) This policy aims to connect new renewable energy as coal-fired power stations close, including Yallourn, which EnergyAustralia plans to close in mid-2028. (Source)
One Nation Victoria’s energy policy commits to cancelling the VNI West and WRL (Western Renewables Link) transmission line projects in the state, both of which would facilitate the transmission and provision of renewable energy via Renewable Energy Zones (REZs). (Source) One Nation Victoria has been highly critical of renewable energy sources, strongly preferencing coal, gas, and nuclear energy. (Source)
Energy
Give local communities a share of renewable energy projects
This policy would require companies building large wind, solar and battery projects to offer locals a share of the project or its profits. A share of the project means locals own part of it, while profit sharing means locals receive a portion of the project’s earnings. (Source) From July 2027, Victoria will ask companies to consider community co-ownership, but they will not be required to offer it. (Source) (Source)
We could not find any evidence for One Nation Victoria policies related to local communities and benefit-sharing when it comes to renewable energy projects. (Source) One Nation Victoria’s policies do not support new renewable energy projects (for example: cancelling VNI West, WRL, abolishing net zero targets and subsidies for renewable energy) and are explicitly anti-renewables. (Source)
Education
Cap government funding for private schools at the established standard
This policy would cap total public funding for each Victorian private school at 100% of its Schooling Resource Standard (SRS), the estimate of how much funding a school needs to meet its students’ needs. (Source) On average, Victoria’s private schools are funded slightly above their SRS (about 102.5% in 2023), while Victoria’s public schools are funded below it (about 90%). (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria education policies related to capping government funding for private schools at the established standards. (Source) Instead, they have announced they would “introduce school vouchers so public funding follows the student”, giving parents a choice between government, independent, faith-based and specialist schools, and would “make it easier for parents and communities to establish new independent, specialist and alternative schools”. (Source)
Education
Expand government-run childcare centres in regional and high-need areas
This policy would open more government-run childcare centres, mainly in regional and high-need areas. It would build on Early Learning Victoria, the government’s existing childcare provider, which is already building 50 centres that offer kinder and long day care in one place. (Source) It aims to help families in “childcare deserts”, where more than three children compete for every childcare place. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to government-run childcare centres or related childcare policies, public statements or voting records. (Source) At the federal level, in June 2026, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson told the National Press Club that childcare was “completely out of control” and should be investigated, (Source) and said she wanted money to go directly to parents rather than childcare providers. (Source) This is consistent with One Nation Victoria’s private schooling policy where “public funding follows the student”. (Source) Hanson has also pitched income splitting for families as a policy that supports stay-at-home parents and “reduces childcare costs”. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “That the regions need more attention from the government in all sectors.”
Education
Establish 10 technical colleges to train secondary students in trades
This policy would establish 10 full-time technical colleges, each training up to 500 students in Years 10 to 12 in trades such as plumbing, electrical and carpentry, as well as healthcare and hospitality. (Source) The colleges would sit on existing secondary school and TAFE sites and, like South Australia’s technical colleges, (Source) partner with local industry to create pathways into apprenticeships.
One Nation Victoria’s education policy explicitly commits to “expand dedicated trade schools that combine practical training with essential literacy and numeracy, and create direct pathways into apprenticeships and employment”, (Source) but the number of schools, and whether they are for secondary students or not, is not clear. We could not find a One Nation response to the Coalition’s plan for 10 technical colleges.
Education
Fully fund public schools to the established standard
This policy would ensure Victorian government schools are funded to 100% of the Schooling Resource Standard (SRS), the estimate of how much funding a school needs to meet its students’ needs. (Source) Under an agreement between the Victorian and Australian governments, Victoria is lifting its share from about 70% to 75% of the SRS, and the Australian Government from 20% to 25%, so full funding will be achieved by 2034. (Source) (Source) Principals say schools currently rely on voluntary parent contributions to help fill the funding gap. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria education policies related to fully funding public schools to the established standards. (Source) In October 2026, One Nation candidate Mark Nicholson said “Victoria has a spending problem”, (Source) and One Nation’s policy booklet says that “despite record spending, too many young people leave school without strong foundations”. (Source) Instead, One Nation would “introduce school vouchers so public funding follows the student” rather than the school, including to independent and faith-based schools. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “We have to find efficiencies in every Gov department but Education is very important and shouldn't be neglected, especially in the Regions.”
Community Safety
Toughen bail laws for serious and repeat offending
This policy would make it harder for people accused of serious offences or repeat offending to receive bail. (Source) Victoria tightened its bail laws in March 2025, applying stricter bail tests to more serious offences and to people who reoffend while on bail. (Source) Further proposed changes include a “one-strike” rule requiring bail refusal for repeat offending, stronger penalties for breaching bail and extending breach-of-bail offences to children.
One Nation Victoria’s crime policies strongly support toughening bail laws for serious and repeat offending. They commit to ensuring “Repeat offenders, or anyone who commits an indictable offence while already on bail” will be ineligible for bail and face an exceptional circumstances test. They support mandating supervised bail (including electronic monitoring and curfews) for those who commit serious offences and increasing remand capacity in order to hold those refused bail. They advocate for numerous additional bail-related reforms, including the establishment of a 24/7 bail court, and the publishing of every bail decision so that decisions sit on the public record. (Source)
Community Safety
Increase investment in early intervention programs for vulnerable young people
This policy would increase state funding for early intervention programs, such as mentoring, family support and help to reconnect with school, work and community, with the aim to keep young people out of the youth justice system. As the Auditor-General found no evidence that Victoria’s existing Youth Crime Prevention Program reduces offending, (Source) this policy would also focus on measurable targets and improving data.
One Nation Victoria has announced income-tested sport vouchers and subsidies for clubs as crime prevention, and a “H.E.L.P.” (Health, Employment, Learning and Purpose) pathway to make Service Victoria a single digital front door for existing services, starting with young people. (Source) They’ve said this means “No new bureaucracy. No new buildings”, and no funding amounts are given. (Source) However, their youth justice policy centres on tougher penalties, including lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 10 and sentencing children charged with serious violent offences as adults. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “Sport as crime prevention is cheap and it works.”
Community Safety
Increase funding to prevent and respond to family, domestic and sexual violence
This policy would increase state funding both to prevent family, domestic and sexual violence, through early intervention and prevention work, and to respond to it, through frontline services such as crisis response, case management, counselling and refuges. Victoria Police recorded 102,830 family violence incidents in the year to June 2026, (Source) and made a record 16,500 family violence arrests. (Source)
We could not find a One Nation position on funding for family, domestic and sexual violence services. (Source) In April 2024, One Nation MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell said “it is vital that the epidemic of family violence is thoroughly investigated”. (Source) However at the federal level, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson called domestic violence “a two-way street” in July 2026, urging women “not to put up with it”, (Source) and in 2023, she said the federal Budget provided “virtually nothing” for male victims of domestic violence “compared to the riches heaped on women’s safety”. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “These are important services and we wouldn’t cut back funding.”
Community Safety
Expand police stop-and-search powers to seize weapons in public spaces
This policy, known as “Jack’s Law”, would allow police to scan anyone in a public place for knives and other metal weapons with a handheld metal detector, without a warrant or suspicion. (Source) Police can currently do this only inside formally declared “designated areas”, such as shopping centres or train stations. (Source) This policy would remove the need to declare an area first. (Source)
One Nation Victoria does not have a policy related to police stop-and-search powers to seize weapons in public places. (Source) The only related policy that could be found was a commitment to “Increase penalties where a firearm is brandished or used in the commission of a crime”. (Source) One Nation MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell also voted in support of the Terrorism (Community Protection) and Control of Weapons Amendment Bill 2024 in its third reading before it was returned to the Assembly. (Source) This bill supports police powers to search individuals for unlawful weapons in designated areas. (Source)
Health
Open 10 free public dental clinics
This policy would open 10 free, walk-in public dental clinics across Victoria — seven in Melbourne and three in regional areas — from July 2027. (Source) The clinics would provide free check-ups and treatment such as fillings, root canals and extractions, prioritising people with the most urgent needs, and could treat more than 100,000 people a year. (Source)
In October 2026, One Nation candidate for Northern Metropolitan Mark Nicholson called Labor’s free dental pledge part of a “spending spree” that the state cannot afford, arguing that taxpayers would pay for the 10 clinics and their children would pay the interest on the debt. (Source) We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to dental care. (Source)
Health
Build more discharge lounges to ease ambulance ramping
This policy would create a fund to build or expand up to 10 discharge lounges in Victorian hospitals, starting with those experiencing the worst overcrowding and ambulance ramping. (Source) In a discharge lounge, patients ready to go home can wait for medication, transport or paperwork, which frees their ward bed for a new patient. (Source) This aims to move patients out of emergency departments faster, so paramedics spend less time waiting outside hospitals. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria announcements on discharge lounges, but they have said they would set public targets to reduce ambulance ramping through beds, discharge speed, nurse practitioners and ward capacity. (Source) They have also said they would expand seven-day discharge services, (Source) and add “transitional, rehabilitation and respite capacity to free up acute beds, reduce bed block, and cut unnecessary hospital stays”. (Source) We could not find any funding amounts. (Source)
Health
Increase funding for community health services
Community health services are local services funded by the Victorian Government to provide allied health, counselling and nursing care, with a focus on groups such as children and people with chronic disease. (Source) This policy would increase the government’s core funding for community health services and bush nursing centres, so they can offer more prevention, early detection and care close to where people live. (Source) Over time, this aims to reduce demand for more complex and costly care in hospitals and emergency departments. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to increasing funding for community health services, with their health platform instead proposing expanding rehabilitation, respite and hospital-in-the-home care. (Source) Federal One Nation leader and Senator Pauline Hanson has made comments related to government funding of Indigenous-specific services, the LGBTIQA+ community, migrants, and faith communities, which may risk funding for the community health services that care for those communities (as many community health services depend on government grants in order to operate). (Source) (Source)
Health
Fund private hospitals to perform more elective surgery for public patients
Based on Queensland’s Surgery Connect program, (Source) this policy would let public patients choose to have elective surgery at a private hospital at no cost, through four-year contracts with private hospitals that have spare capacity. (Source) It would cover common procedures such as hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and colonoscopies, and aims to halve the waiting list by delivering an extra 25,000 surgeries a year.
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to funding private hospitals to perform elective surgery for public patients. Their health policy instead says they would “use every available theatre”, protect elective operating capacity, and cut same-day cancellations, as part of a focus on “timely treatment” and a “Wait-List Guarantee”. (Source)
Climate
Establish a climate disaster recovery fund
This policy would create an ongoing Victorian fund to pay for clean-up, repairs to community infrastructure and local recovery services after climate disasters such as bushfires, floods and storms. Victoria already shares eligible recovery costs with the Commonwealth, (Source) but this policy would add a dedicated state fund for any disaster.
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to the establishment of a climate disaster recovery fund. (Source) Their website policies contain no mention of the word “climate”. They are committed to abolishing all net-zero targets and subsidies. (Source) One Nation “question climate science” and Federal Leader Pauline Hanson has voted consistently against building community climate change resilience. (Source) (Source)
Climate
Strengthen regulations to reduce land clearing on private land
This policy would tighten restrictions on removing native vegetation from privately owned land. Victoria already requires a council planning permit to remove native vegetation unless an exemption applies, so the change would strengthen existing controls. (Source) It would also provide dedicated state funding for councils to monitor clearing and enforce the rules, potentially using satellite and aerial imagery, as recommended by the Auditor-General. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to land clearing on private land. (Source) Their farming policy does, however, commit to reversing laws that allow both government agencies and energy companies access to private land without the consent of the landholder. (Source) In May 2026, One Nation MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell advocated for farmers having “the final say on how their land was managed and developed”. (Source) In 2020, federal One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said One Nation was committed to repealing Queensland legislation which reduces land clearing options for farmers. (Source)
Climate
Legislate a duty of care to protect young people and future generations from climate harm
This policy would create a legal duty for Victorian decision-makers to prioritise the health and wellbeing of young people and future generations when assessing coal, oil and gas projects. They would have to assess how a project’s contribution to climate change could harm young people. (Source) Victoria’s Climate Change Act already requires the Minister to consider climate change when deciding whether to approve onshore oil and gas. This policy would add a specific duty focused on children and future generations. (Source)
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to legislating a duty of care to future generations when approving fossil fuel projects, (Source) and no One Nation candidates appear on the list of candidates who signed the duty of care pledge. (Source) Public statements and voting records indicate support for this would be extremely unlikely: One Nation Victoria support investment in upgrading infrastructure for coal power, exploration for offshore gas reserves, and have committed to the continued operation of the Loy Yang A coal power station, which is currently planned to close in 2035. (Source)
Climate
Increase funding and resources for the Country Fire Authority
This policy would increase state funding and resources for the Country Fire Authority (CFA), whose volunteer brigades respond to fires and other emergencies across much of rural and regional Victoria. (Source) Additional funding could replace ageing fire trucks, upgrade stations and protective equipment, and provide training and support to recruit and retain volunteers. (Source)
One Nation Victoria’s emergency services policy supports the introduction of a rolling fleet replacement program; for the CFA, the average age of the fleet will be maintained at 10 years, with trucks fully replaced by 20 years of age. They also commit to including Starlink units in fire trucks for improved communications and mapping capabilities. (Source)
Transport
Cap tolls at $30 a week for one year
This policy would cap weekly toll costs at $30 for cars, motorbikes and light commercial vehicles on CityLink, EastLink and the West Gate Tunnel throughout 2027. (Source) Motorists would keep paying tolls as usual, then claim back what they paid above $30 a week through a quarterly Service Victoria rebate, up to $350 a week or $5,000 a year per vehicle.
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies related to the capping of tolls. (Source) However, One Nation candidate for Northern Metropolitan Mark Nicholson has included capped tolls as part of broader criticism around over-spending by major political parties. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “This is just a vote buy scheme. Victoria can’t afford it.”
Transport
Spend 5% of the transport budget on safe, connected bike paths
This policy would dedicate 5% of the state transport budget to planning and building safe, separated cycling routes across Melbourne and regional centres. (Source) This 5% would be new funding, on top of existing walking and cycling funding and bike paths already built through major road and level crossing projects.
We could not find any One Nation Victoria policies, public statements or voting records related to bike paths. (Source) One Nation’s transport commitments focus on regional roads and rail. (Source)
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “The money can be spent on front line services or the Regions.”
Transport
Spend at least $3 billion a year maintaining state roads
This policy would guarantee at least $3 billion a year to maintain state-managed roads. The Department of Transport estimated this is the amount needed to stop roads getting worse while replacing ageing assets. (Source) This is nearly three times the $1.04 billion budgeted for 2026–27, (Source) and more than double the $1.39 billion total, once an extra $352 million for pothole repairs is included. (Source) 82% of state roads are in regional Victoria, which also have the highest proportion of roads as being in poor or very poor condition. (Source)
One Nation Victoria’s transport policy commits to funding and fixing regional roads, prioritising high-traffic regional highways, and locking in future funding. (Source) They are also committed to creating a Pothole Portal so the public can report potholes and track how long it takes to get fixed. One Nation MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell has advocated specifically for improving roads in regional areas. (Source) However, we could not find an explicit costing figure, and as a result have not been able to assign a support level for One Nation.
Response to Build a Ballot Vic 2026: “We need to spend money on roads, especially in the Regions but we need to look at efficiencies in how we do it. We believe there is too much waste at the moment.”
Transport
Improve frequency and connections across all Victorian public transport systems
This policy would run buses, trains and trams more often across Victoria and make it easier to change between them. Examples include metro trains at least every 20 minutes until midnight and key cross-suburban buses every 20 minutes, (Source) with upgrades to busy interchange stations such as Caulfield and Richmond. (Source) It would also align bus timetables with train and tram timetables so passengers wait less when they change services. (Source)
One Nation Victoria has not announced a statewide public transport frequency commitment. They have announced they would scrap the Suburban Rail Loop and divert the funds to other line-specific infrastructure, including Airport Rail and electrifying the Melton line. (Source) One Nation MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell has previously called for a “full and immediate review” of Greater Shepparton’s bus network, citing new housing estates without routes and no Sunday services. (Source)
Other policies
Pause new AI data centres until protections are in place
This policy would temporarily pause approvals and construction of new AI data centres in Victoria until stronger, enforceable safeguards are in place for electricity and water use, the environment, and nearby communities. It aims to give communities time to weigh the risks and benefits, (Source) and give councils and residents a say on future projects. (Source) Victoria’s new planning rules are not yet legally binding, and only cover applications lodged from 23 September 2026, not the state’s 50 existing data centres. (Source)
One Nation Victoria’s energy policy does not explicitly call for a pause on new AI data centres. They do commit to various measures which amount to implementing protective measures before data centre developments can proceed. (Source) They commit to: banning new data centres on “prime agricultural land”; assessing for impact on communities around energy demand, water needs, fire risks, noise and traffic, and drinking water catchments, and publishing those assessments; and require consultation with communities before any approvals near homes. They are also committed to data centres using recycled and non-drinking water for cooling.
Other policies
Repeal the Treaty legislation and the First Peoples' Assembly
Victoria became the first Australian state to legislate a Treaty with First Peoples in 2025, establishing Gellung Warl, which includes the elected First Peoples’ Assembly. (Source) The Treaty was developed over nearly a decade of extensive community consultation, including elections for the First Peoples' Assembly. Negotiations between the Assembly and the government that were held across Victoria so communities could take part. (Source)(Source) Gellung Warl cannot make or veto laws, but can question ministers and must receive a treaty compatibility statement with every bill. (Source) This policy would repeal that legislation and abolish those bodies.
One Nation Victoria’s policy platform (specifically, their The Real Deal policy booklet, p. 31) commits the party to repealing the Treaty legislation, Gellung Warl and its First People’s Assembly, and ending all associated legislated funding. (Source) One Nation MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell stated in October 2025 that she “will never support the Allan Labor Government’s Treaty for Victoria”. (Source)
Other policies
Provide free abortion care
This policy would remove out-of-pocket costs for medication and surgical abortions before 16 weeks of pregnancy by paying participating private providers to deliver the care. Currently, most abortions in Victoria are provided privately, where patients may pay fees even after Medicare rebates. (Source) This policy would also include travel assistance for eligible patients who need to travel long distances for care. (Source)
In October 2026, after Labor and the Coalition pledged free abortion care, One Nation Victorian leader Warren Pickering said that the party had “no plans to change the current laws”. (Source) We could not find a One Nation Victoria policy on abortion care or its funding. (Source) One Nation upper house MP Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell said in September 2026 that votes on abortion would be conscience votes for the party, and that she is “supportive of … early term abortion”. (Source, 6m 30sec) One Nation’s national policy is pro-life and would reduce the gestational limit, (Source) which suggests they would be unlikely to support expanding access.
Other policies
Give workers a legal right to work from home two days a week
This policy would give eligible Victorian employees a legal right to work from home two days a week where reasonable, with a proportionate entitlement for part-time and regular casual employees. (Source) Employers could refuse on specified grounds, such as duties requiring attendance, significant productivity or safety impacts, or excessive costs, and would have to explain their reasons. (Source) Employees could challenge a refusal through the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission and, if unresolved, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
