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 Republic of Australia Maritime Corps (RAMC) as a permanent, high-readiness amphibious force under direct Presidential command.

While the Australian Defence Force will adopt a strictly defensive posture — focused on territorial protection and infrastructure security — its capacity to deploy abroad will remain intact, but reserved for declared conflict authorised by Parliament. The ADF retains its historical role as the nation’s broad, conventional force — proven, disciplined, and prepared to act when total commitment is required.

The RAMC exists to operate outside that threshold — as the Republic’s only authorised formation capable of rapid, targeted deployment beyond Australian shores during times of crisis, escalation, or regional disruption.

It will deploy with the Republic’s carrier groups, in close coordination with naval and air assets, and act with speed and precision to secure trade, territory, or stability when others cannot.

Whether in conflict or disaster, the RAMC will land first — fast, disciplined, and without delay.

The ADF will hit when war is declared. The RAMC will make sure it doesn’t have to be.

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.
