The party claims that the major parties focus too much on the larger businesses, and ignore the smaller ones, even though the vast majority are small businesses.[3] The party's platform mostly focuses on lowering taxes associated with business, however they also advocate for better education and out of school care for children. They also have a policy to cut immigration, as the party claims that the infrastructure in New South Wales is inadequate for sustaining immigration.[4]
