Labor: 2024 promises

What each party said it would do at the 2024 election, in its own words, with a link to where it said it.

Each promise was copied word for word from the party’s own website, as saved by the Internet Archive in 2024. A person still needs to check each one against its source, so most show “Not yet checked”. Whether a promise was kept is only marked when there is evidence for it.
