"People of the Riverina, Family First and I will put Australians first," Mr Burge said.
Mr Burge said if elected he would strive to see the following placed into law:
Hold a Royal Commission into federal and state governments' response to the COVID-19 pandemic and abolish the Human Rights Commission.
Exit the Paris climate accords and abandon Net Zero targets.
Use gas to firm electricity supply [and] unlock gas reserves. Keep coal-fired power stations open until there are viable and affordable alternatives that provide baseload electricity. Pursue nuclear energy.
Focus on fiscal responsibility by tackling government debt. This will mean reducing the size of government and de-funding programs.
Encourage civil society's "little platoons" so government does only what the community is unable to do.
Encourage small and family business by reducing red and green tape.
Eliminate critical race theory and gender queer theory in all aspects of the curriculum.
Ban the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and gender affirmation surgery on minors.
Make it an offence for teachers or social workers to hide from parents their child’s decision to change gender.
Abolish anti-vilification and anti-discrimination law provisions which restrict freedom of speech and religion. Legislate to protect the right of churches, schools and charities to have the freedom to hire staff in accordance with their religious ethos.
Protect girls’ and women’s sport.
Explore Hungarian-style tax-breaks for mothers of three or more children and allow mums and dads to split their income for tax purposes.
Gather the homeless from the streets each night into a communal shelter where they are connected to services committed to settling them in long term secure housing.
Ensure a generous safety net for the poor, always with a view for lifting people from poverty.
Make it a criminal offence for a man to coerce a woman to [abort] her unborn baby.
Support women practically so no woman is faced with no other choice but to [abort] her unborn baby.
Advocate through public education ... so that abortion becomes unthinkable.
Repeal euthanasia laws and properly resource palliative care.
Centre the curriculum around the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, and restore the primacy of Western Civilisation and the Australian achievement.
Slow immigration to that supported by housing supply and infrastructure.
Support the US alliance which guarantees Australia's national security.
Increase defence spending to at least 3 percent of GDP, creating a lean, focused force without ideological distractions.
Support lawful and responsible shooting and hunting activities. Maintain the current National Firearms Agreement (NFA).
Firmly support all law enforcement activities that decrease the prevalence and impact of illicit firearm access and trade.
