1 IN 3 BIG CORPORATIONS PAY $0 TAX.
The cost of living crisis isn’t just happening. 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.
But 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 reform.
There is another choice.
By collecting more tax from big corporations and billionaires, we will lower the cost of living, decrease economic inequality and make life better for millions of people.
This election, we have the power to make real, positive change.
With a minority government expected, electing more Greens means real action to bring down the cost of living. We’ll keep Peter Dutton 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, which will bring prices down and put money back in your pocket.
We’ll raise over $514B revenue by:
- A 40% tax on excess profits for big corporations with over $100 million in turnover.
- A 10% tax on the net wealth of Australia's 150 billionaires.
- Stop big oil & gas corporations paying $0 in tax by closing loopholes and raising royalties so Australia gets its fair share in tax from resources owned by the public.
- Tackle 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
The Liberals & Labor are funded by the big banks & supermarkets and big corporations profiting from the cost of living crisis. They’re not serious about reform.
The Greens aren’t. We can’t be bought, and won’t sell out.
The only way to fix the system is to vote for a party that will fight to put people before big corporate profit.
Our pledge to you:
We'll never support a Dutton government.
Vote 1 Greens to keep Dutton out.
