Will you add your name to the petition?

Beyond the floods: Winning climate justice this election

Stop unfair tax handouts
$255 billion worth of tax handouts for the top 3.6% of income earners in our society. It’ll be disastrous. But the Albanese Government has the power to stop them – they just need the political will. Call on Prime Minister Albanese to axe the stage three tax handouts.
