Coalition: The Coalition is focused on removing barriers to Australian companies participating in the Government market, such as low visibility, uncommercial risk provisions in Government contracts, and risk-averse buying patterns. The Coalition will not breach its international trade obligations by implementing a specific preferential buying program based on nationality.
Democrats: Yes.
Greens: Yes.
Labor: Yes. We will adopt a strategic whole-of-government purchasing policy that uses government spending to achieve domestic industry development objectives, particularly in key sectors, such as the information and communications technology sectors.
One Nation: Yes, our preference will always be to provide jobs for Australian workers and support Australian business first. Government departments at local state and federal levels should acquire services from within Australia and from within their local areas.
It's disappointing that the only party the failed to address the current problems is the incumbent Liberal Party. It's equally disappointing that the Liberals were reelected.
