Description
The Federal Government Fuel Tax Credit scheme hands BHP $622 million every year in diesel tax breaks – and the leaked memos reveal BHP's plan is to keep burning huge amounts of diesel, keep polluting and keep taking our money.
BHP is just one of the mining companies enjoying $4.5 billion a year in tax breaks whilst also planning the biggest coal mine expansions in Australia.
As we face the biggest energy crisis in history, a $50 million cap would hit BHP, Rio Tinto, Glencore and a handful of other giants – and wouldn't touch a single farmer, fisher, truckie or tradie. As supply tightens and prices climb, the cap would save $2 billion a year.
Will you sign the petition calling on the Albanese Government to stop giving BHP hundreds of millions in tax handouts each year while everyday people struggle to fill their tanks?
