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 companies pushing up prices and pocketing record profits while people work harder and fall further behind.
It’s time to put people first.
While households struggle, Labor and the Liberals take millions in donations from the very corporations driving up prices.
They built this system. They won’t fix it without pressure.
With the Greens in the balance of power, this parliament has a real chance to take on corporate influence and deliver results.
By making big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share, we can bring down the cost of living, reduce inequality, and make life better for millions of people.
Our plan to bring down the cost of living
The Greens have a fully costed plan to tackle the cost of living crisis by making big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share.
We’ll use that money to fund hospitals and schools, improve public services, and bring down everyday costs so you can keep more in your pocket.
Our plan raises over $514 billion 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 and gas from paying $0 tax by closing loopholes and ensuring they pay their fair share for publicly owned resources.
- Tackling multinational tax avoidance.
- 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.
Labor and the Liberals have built a system that’s failing millions.

Together, we can put people first.
FROM THE COMMUNITY.
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
ALWAYS.
The Greens don’t take corporate donations. We can’t be bought, and we don’t sell out. Our community always comes first.
The major parties take millions in donations from big corporations to fund their election campaigns. And it shows.
Our people powered movement is taking on the two party system and changing politics for the better. Together we are powerful.
