If you’re worried about the cost of living, you’re not alone. Hard working people are paying too much for the basics and can’t get ahead.
We’re all being ripped off by the big banks, supermarkets and big corporations making massive profits.
While you pay more, 1 in 3 big corporations pay $0 tax.
A nurse is paying more tax than some multinational corporations. That needs to change.
In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford a secure home, bills, food, and access to health and education.
We can take on the big corporations and ban price gouging. The Greens are pushing to make big corporations and billionaires pay more tax, raising over $514bn to fund the things we all need.
The Greens have already:
- Scrapped the childcare subsidy activity test guaranteeing 3 days of childcare a week
- Got dental into Medicare for kids
- Made sure super is paid during parental leave
- Secured a better deal to fully fund public schools by 2032
Next we will:
- Make it cheaper and easier than ever to see the GP by tripling the bulk-billing incentive
- Cap unlimited rent increases and better regulate big banks to keep mortgages low
- Raise the rate of the aged pension and other Centrelink payments so no-one lives in poverty
- Bring dental healthcare into Medicare for everyone
- Make supermarket price gouging illegal and give the ACCC new powers to break up the duopoly
- Make childcare universally accessible with no out-of-pocket costs
- Remove out-of-pocket costs for abortion care, contraception and PrEP/PeP
- Remove out-of-pocket fees for public schools and bring in an $800 back-to-school bonus
- Lower power bills by expanding publicly-owned renewable power
- Slash the out-of-pocket costs to see a psychologist by removing the cap on subsidised sessions
- Extend the superannuation guarantee to people under 18
- Give casual workers the same pro-rated paid sick leave rights as other workers
- Make it easier for renters, homeowners and businesses to get rooftop solar and batteries
- Wipe student debts and bring back free TAFE and university for everyone
