The Election commitments report presents the budget impacts of the policy platforms for all major parties (the Coalition, Australian Labor Party and Australian Greens), as well as any minor parties and independents who choose to be included in the report.
The Election commitments report helps Parliament and the public hold parties to account by creating a record of all the promises made during an election, and their full cost. The process evens the ‘playing field’ by giving non-government parties and independents access to costings and may also support future debate on policy, rather than on the accuracy of costings.
