Welcome to Promise Watch

During the 2007 federal election campaign, GetUp collected almost 500 unique promises from Australian parties and politicians. Now that the election is over, GetUp is concentrating on the promises made by Federal Labor.

Promise Watch’s goal is to scrutinise every ALP promise, gauging our leaders’ performances against their own benchmarks. Promise Watch aims to make your voices heard, too: all promises will be open to public comment.

With Promise Watch you can ensure that every promise is a core promise and together we can hold the Prime Minister and his party accountable. The clock is ticking - let’s make sure they deliver a progressive Australia.
