End fuel subsidies for big mining companies
To the Albanese Government,
Big mining companies shouldn't be getting public money. We’re calling on you to end the tax break for big polluters and cap the diesel fuel tax credit at $50 million per company.
Why is this important?
Our vision is for a healthy planet supporting thriving communities, not billionaire's bank accounts.
But big polluting mining companies are making huge profits and benefiting from subsidised diesel fuel. Coal giant BHP got $622 million in public money from this fuel rebate last year. It's outrageous. If the government capped the scheme at $50 million per company, the biggest mining companies would pay tax while still allowing farmers to access a rebate. It's a policy shift that just makes sense.

Sign the petition today asking Prime Minister Albanese to cap the diesel fuel tax credit to make sure that big polluters pay their fair share of tax.
