Albanese sets out Labor policy themes

LABOR'S FIVE POLICY THEMES

* Jobs and a strong economy that works for people, not the other way around.

* A fair Australia where no one is left behind - where education drives opportunity, health care is delivered through your Medicare card, work security and conditions are improved and older Australians are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

* Infrastructure that boosts productivity and is capable of transforming our economy, such as High Speed Rail to tackle urban congestion, promote decentralisation and build stronger regions.

* Climate change action that recognises that this is an opportunity as well as a threat.

* Providing national security through foreign policy that stands up for our national interests in the globalised world, while recognising our three policy pillars of support for multilateralism, regional engagement as well as the US alliance.
