Manifest Opportunity - Australian Federal Election 2019

We developed this manifesto at the time of the 2019 election. Three years on, it seems as relevant as ever.
Australia is one of the strongest economies in the world.  We are rich not simply in our natural resources, but also in our magnificent environment, pristine agricultural supply chain, extraordinary indigenous heritage and resourceful and creative people.

Australians deserve much better than an age of ignorance.  We need leaders who put innovation, entrepreneurship and long-term thinking 
ahead of sound-bite opportunism – leaders who trust in independent analysis and objective decision-making, not party-political rhetoric.
​
We invite you to browse through the Pottinger Manifesto below, and add your voice to our movement to help deliver an even stronger Australia.

Asian trade and investment


Much of the world's future economic growth is concentrated in Asia.  Australian geopolitical priorities must recognise these shifts, and businesses must emphasise offshore growth.

Innovation and entrepreneurship



The Robot Revolution
will consume jobs rapidly - urgent action is needed to create new businesses that in turn create new employment opportunities.

Our natural
​environment


Australia's pristine natural environment is important to both agriculture and tourism, as well as our quality of life.  We must invest in it wisely and protect it from harm.

Energy
​policy


Australia must set forward-looking energy policies that are economically rational and take account of technological change.  In practice, this will benefit the environment too.

Infrastructure
​investment


Australia's huge cities and
​declining physical and digital infrastructure are combining to undermine our way of life - investment must focus clearly on the long term.

Social
​welfare


Cost-effective social welfare
ensures that Australia's prosperity
is shared broadly through society
and helps to protect
our nation's high quality of life.

Character
​and behaviour


The character and behaviour of our leaders defines who we are as a nation.  It's time to raise our game

we can be genuinely proud.
