1 IN 3 BIG CORPORATIONS PAY $0 TAX.
The cost of living crisis isn’t just happening on its own.
It’s being driven by big corporations pushing up prices and raking in record profits while everyday people pay more and work harder than ever to get by.
Yet instead of holding them to account, Labor and the Liberals take millions in donations from the very corporations driving up prices. They’re not serious about real change.
But there is another choice.
By collecting more tax from big corporations and billionaires, we could lower the cost of living, decrease economic inequality, and make life better for millions of people like you.
This election, we have the power to make real, positive change.
There will be a minority government this election. Electing more Greens means real action to bring down the cost of living.
We’ll keep Dutton's Liberals out and side with everyday people over big corporations, always.
If you want change, the first step is to vote for it. This time, Vote 1 Greens.
WE CAN'T KEEP VOTING FOR THE SAME TWO PARTIES AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT.

Our plan to bring down the cost of living
The Greens have a fully-costed plan to tackle the cost of living crisis at its roots by making big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share.
We’d use that revenue to fund world-class health and education, invest in services and infrastructure, bring prices down, and put money back in your pocket.
We’ll raise over $514 billion in revenue to fund this by:
- Introducing a 40% tax on excess profits for big corporations with over $100 million in turnover.
- Introducing a 10% tax on the net wealth of Australia's 150 billionaires.
- Stopping big oil & gas corporations paying $0 in tax by closing loopholes – and raising royalties so Australia gets its fair share from resources owned by the public.
- Tackling multinational tax avoidance.

And invest it in services that will bring down your cost of living:
- Ban supermarket price gouging to make food cheaper.
- Bring back free GP visits .
- Put dental and mental health into Medicare.
- 50-cent public transport fares.
- Regulate the banks to stop price gouging on mortgages.
- Wipe all student debt, putting an extra $5,500 back in your pocket each year.
- Bring essential services back into public hands so they work for people, not profits.

THE GREENS ARE NOT FUNDED BY BIG CORPORATIONS
Labor and the Liberals are not serious about real change. They are funded by the very corporations profiting off the cost of living crisis.
The Greens aren’t. We cannot be bought and we will not sell out.
The only way to fix the system is to vote for a party that will fight to put people before big corporate profits.
Our pledge to you:
We'll never support a Dutton government.
Vote 1 Greens to keep Dutton out.
