Food & Water Security

Australia has the land, the people, and the know-how to feed itself — and to support others. But our food systems and water security are under serious threat. Foreign ownership, climate volatility, and neglected water infrastructure are putting our future at risk.

The Problem

Much of our best agricultural land and water infrastructure has been sold off to foreign interests. Our farmers face rising costs, unfair trade deals, water mismanagement, and unreliable supply chains. We’ve had no major dam building program in decades. We import food we could grow, and we lose productive land to speculation, urban sprawl, or mismanagement. If Australia can’t feed itself, we are not a sovereign nation.

Why It Matters

Every Australian deserves reliable access to fresh, affordable, local food. Every region deserves water infrastructure that supports farming, communities, and drought resilience. In a crisis — natural or strategic — food and water are survival priorities. This is not just about agriculture. It's about national security, public health, and self-reliance.

The Fair Go Plan

• Ban foreign ownership of Australian farmland, water licenses, and major food processors.
• Launch a national water infrastructure program: new dams, modern irrigation, and inland pipelines.
• Support localised food production and regional food hubs for supply chain resilience.
• Reform land use policy to prioritise food security over urban speculation or mining interests.
• Support next-generation farmers through access to land, finance, and regenerative practices.
• Protect aquifers and rivers through strong environmental stewardship led by local communities.

A Nation That Can’t Feed Itself Can’t Stand On Its Own

We stand for food grown in Australian soil, by Australian hands, under Australian control. And for water that flows where it’s needed — not where it can be sold. This is sovereignty you can eat.
