The ANSR Party is committed to ensuring that the Australian Defence Force (ADF) exists solely to protect the sovereignty, territory, and interests of the Australian nation and people. The ADF will not be used as a tool for foreign adventurism, global policing, or the enforcement of external agendas.

International deployments will occur only under clear, limited conditions:
– If Australia is directly threatened,
– If our territorial sovereignty is at risk,
– Or if a close strategic ally faces a genuine existential threat.

Even then, any such action will require clear national justification, formal parliamentary approval, authorisation from the President, and will be subject to strict public and legal scrutiny.

The ANSR rejects the misuse of Australian servicemen and women in wars that do not serve our national interest. We will not sacrifice Australian lives to satisfy the ambitions of globalist blocs, foreign lobbies, or imperial alliances.

Under ANSR leadership, the ADF will be disciplined, focused, and morally grounded—defending Australia, not projecting power abroad.

The ANSR Party will transform Australia’s defence posture by investing heavily in a sovereign naval fleet fit for the 21st century.

At the heart of this transformation is the design and construction of five nuclear-powered, fixed-wing aircraft carriers — built entirely on Australian soil, by Australian hands. This fleet will form the backbone of our regional defence doctrine, delivering independent strategic reach, credible deterrence, and maritime superiority throughout the Indo-Pacific.

These carriers will complement the nuclear-powered submarine program already underway through AUKUS, integrating into a cohesive, layered national defence system — controlled solely by Australia, for Australia.

This initiative will not only secure our borders, but also power domestic industry — creating thousands of skilled jobs and developing world-class expertise in naval engineering, nuclear propulsion, and advanced defence manufacturing.

Through this program, the ANSR will position Australia not as a client state, but as a serious regional actor — sovereign, self-reliant, and prepared to defend its national interests in an increasingly unstable world.

The ANSR will establish the RAIDER(s) as Australia’s offensive expeditionary force, distinct from the ADF’s defensive posture. Operating under the President’s authority, the RAIDERs will not require Parliamentary approval for deployment, similar to the U.S. Marines. Their primary role will be to conduct rapid-response operations and expeditionary missions, supporting Australia’s national interests both domestically and abroad.

Born from 2RAR, RAIDER(s) will fill a critical gap in Australia’s defence strategy, as well as offering an attractive role between regular infantry and special forces. They will be a flexible force capable of operating alongside the Navy, Air Force, and Army in various roles, including maritime infantry.

The creation of the RAIDERs will enhance Australia’s ability to project power when necessary, and respond to global threats in kind, without the constraints of traditional parliamentary approval.

The ANSR Party will establish ARMA: the Australian Republic Militia Army — a constitutional civilian defence force, and the Republic’s final legal line of defence.

ARMA exists to defend the Republic against all threats, foreign or domestic. In times of peace, it will assist in national emergencies, natural disasters, and civil resilience efforts — operating alongside the State Emergency Service (SES) and local agencies to strengthen Australia from the ground up.

Entry into ARMA begins with service. All recruits must first join their local SES unit. This ensures that every ARMA member is visible, disciplined, and rooted in real-world service to their community — not isolated or ideological.

Following SES commitment, members may enter ARMA training: covering firearms safety, civil logistics, field preparedness, and defensive coordination under Republic command.

ARMA is not a pastime. It is not a club. It is a disciplined, civilian reserve — designed for duty, prepared for crisis, and built to serve the Republic of Australia with loyalty, strength, and readiness.
