Australia's Gas Giveaway — Live Revenue Tracker
Australia's Gas Giveaway — Live Revenue Tracker
Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports would raise $17 billion each year to fund essential services. Nearly $50 million every single day, seven days a week, flowing to multinational LNG exporters instead of Australian schools and hospitals. This single policy could have funded free childcare or free university and TAFE for all Australians over the same period. Help take on the gas industry!
Why democracies need to collect more corporate tax - Webinar
Why democracies need to collect more corporate tax - Webinar
Join Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz, in conversation with The Australia Institute’s Dr Richard Denniss and Ebony Bennett. Inequality creates insecurity. As the United States is showing the rest of the world, that insecurity can have devasting consequences for democracy. Yet still governments get it wrong as they race to the bottom on corporate tax. Big Gas, Big Tech and others are enriching themselves at the same time as governments are eroding social safety nets. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Join Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz, Australia Institute co-CEO Dr Richard Denniss, and Australia Institute Deputy Director Ebony Bennett to discuss why corporate tax is good – and why democracies should be collecting more of it.

✍️ Petition: Collect royalties on Australia's gas exports
Australia Institute research has found that 56% of gas exported from Australia attracts zero royalty payments, effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free. We need to collect royalties on all gas exported from Australia. #auspol ADD YOUR NAME to the petition >
✍️ Petition: Phase out fossil fuels
✍️ Petition: Phase out fossil fuels
Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.
✍️ Petition: Increase the PRRT

The government collects more money from HECS than it does from the PRRT. Australians are missing out on important revenue for public services while gas companies make record profits. We need to increase the PRRT #auspol ADD YOUR NAME to the petition >
✍️Petition: Save the Murujuga Rock Art
✍️Petition: Save the Murujuga Rock Art
One of Australia and the world’s most important artworks is being destroyed by acid gas pollution. The Murujuga rock art on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia is a cultural treasure – and more than 40,000 years old. It is at least twice as ancient as the Lascaux cave paintings in France, and eight times as ancient as the pyramids in Egypt, and Stonehenge.
