Tax the 1%
Things are hard. But not for everyone.
While you work harder than ever, corporations and billionaires are making massive profits.
And here’s the kicker: while your wages are taxed heavily, the wealth of the top 1% is not.
Right now we’re at a tipping point. Taxing the wealth of the 1% is how we get back to a fairer Australia.
Where owning a home isn’t out of reach, where public services are world class, and where corporations can’t rip us off.
The 1% have broken the economy, but the 99% can fix it.
See how you compare to the top 1%.
Provide world-class, universal public services
For decades, Labor and Liberal governments have underfunded our public services and sold them off to be run by corporations that rip us off. Before we privatised everything, our public schools and hospitals were world class, we had free services like free Uni and we weren't being squeezed by corporations at every opportunity. Publicly owned services protect Australians from corporate price hikes. In a country as wealthy as Australia, we should have world class health including dental and mental, free childcare, school and uni.
