Common Sense for Australia
Add your common sense to ours
Australia’s major political parties have lost their way. They’ve forgotten who they work for, wasted decades on theatrical battles while real problems fester, leaving us wondering if any of them deserve our vote.
Australia deserves better.
Common Sense for Australia Incorporated is a registered not-for-profit association.
Our purpose:
To encourage the development and advocacy of common sense political policy.
We’re built on a simple idea: Government should deliver the greatest long-term good for the greatest possible number of Australians. Not factions. Not ideologies. Just practical solutions that actually work.
Our Founding Principles and the Book
Our Constitution sets out Eight Core Principles.
The book Common Sense for Australia: What might it look like? presents those eight beliefs under four practical themes and shows how they work in practice.
Read our Constitution or Purchase The Book – if either makes sense to you, we’d love your support.
Our next step: Building a community of common sense
We have changed course. Rather than immediately establishing a new political party, our aim is to bring together an initial 500 supporters before substantially upgrading this website into an interactive political community.
A community where Australians, regardless of political allegiance, can propose policies, contribute articles, read, debate, agree, disagree, and help shape political solutions.
No party badges. Just Common Sense.
For an idea of how this might work in practice, consider the former website The Roar, which brought together sports enthusiasts to contribute articles, exchange views and debate their shared interests.
If you believe Australian politics needs a fresh approach, add your name to ours. There are no fees or obligations. Just an opportunity to help build something better.
Together, we can build an independent political voice for all Australians – one that puts national interests ahead of the competing sectoral interests which so often dominate our established political parties.
