The PM says taxing billionaires doesnāt āadd upā.
You know what doesnāt add up?
Billionaires making 1300 times more than the average Australian. Massive corporations paying less tax than you.
That doesnāt add up.
The Greens will force billionaires to start giving back.
Join the campaign to tax the billionaires and make them pay their fair share, to fund the essential services everyone needs.

Everyday people are closer to becoming homeless than we are to being a billionaire.
Billionaires shouldnāt control the news, our politics, or the obscene amounts of wealth they do in this cost of living crisis.
Together we can make them pay up so everyone has what they need for a good life.
Australian billionaire backers donated over $2m to major political parties last financial year.
But with a minority government on the way, this is our chance to break their grip over our democracy.
You can vote Greens to keep Dutton out, push Labor, and tax the billionaires.
Under the Greens plan, a tax on Australiaās 150 billionaires would raise $50 billion over the decade.
Which we could use for services everyone needs, like:
š 50c public transport fares
𩺠Making it free to see the GP
𦷠Dental into Medicare
Between 2018 and 2024, Australiaās billionaire wealth almost doubled to $584.5 billion.
Theyād be the 24th wealthiest nation in the world, if they were one.
Families are sleeping in tents. Millions are living in poverty.
Itās time the billionaires paid up.
In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics: a home, food, and world class health and education.
But thatās not reality.
Instead, billionaires are making out like bandits while everyone else is squeezed.
Australiaās billionaires raked in $67,000 an hour last year.
While millions struggled to afford rent or groceries.
Itās time to turn the tables.
Today, the Greens announce our plan to tax the billionaires to fund cost of living relief.
By putting more Greens MPs in Parliament, we can keep Peter Dutton out and get Labor to act on the cost-of-living crisis.
Change is possible, but you have to vote for it.
After years of Greens pressure, Qld now has 50c fares for good.
& with everything indicating a minority Parliament, if people vote Greens then we can deliver on cost-of-living relief like 50c fares.
We canāt keep voting for the same two parties & expecting a different result.
Our plan for 50c fares would see a full-time worker in Melbourne save $2,400 a year.
In Sydney a full-time worker would save $2,160 a year, in Perth $2,006, and in Adelaide $1,872.
It's eased cost of living pressure in QLD, and it's time to roll it out nationwide.
The Greens have announced our plan for 50c public transport fares across the country.
This would put up to $2,400 a year back in the pocket of a full-time worker - paid for by making big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share of tax.
