It’s time to make big polluters pay.

Everyday people are paying the price of climate change, while big coal, oil and gas corporations get away with it.

Coal, oil and gas corporations are responsible for 75% of Australia's climate pollution, but they're not contributing their fair share. They pay less tax than nurses.¹

Instead, communities and governments in Australia and the Pacific are paying the price for climate change through increasing insurance bills, food prices, and huge recovery costs from severe storms, drought, bushfires and floods.

¹ Over the 10 years to 2023-24 nurses paid $7 billion more in tax than the oil and gas corporations did.  The Australia Institute.

It’s unfair and unjust.
But we can do something about it.

Join us in demanding that the Australian Government:

  • Establish a Climate Pollution Levy on coal, gas and oil corporations, to raise approximately $46 billion per year to pay for the climate damage these corporations are causing.
  • Use this money to fill a Climate Compensation Fund to meet the needs of communities on the frontline of climate impacts and everyday households facing rising costs from climate change.
  • End fossil fuel subsidies and close tax loopholes, ensuring the industry pays its fair share.
