✍️ SIGN: Fair and balanced tax reform now!
Australia's wealth gap is spiralling out of control. In 2024 alone, almost a third of large corporations, including more than half of Australia's major mining, energy and water companies, paid zero income tax in the latest year of reporting.1
On top of this, the biggest 500 Australian corporations raked in $98 billion in excess profits off the back of the COVID-19 crisis and Russia's war on Ukraine, and in some cases by price gouging.
Meanwhile, families are struggling to make ends meet amid rising housing costs, stagnating wages, and soaring inflation.
Instead of bold solutions to fix all this, all we're hearing are short-term sugar hits and empty promises ahead of the election.2 But with election on the horizon and inequality again now on the spotlight, we have rare opportunity to demand ambition from our leaders and call for a fair and balanced tax system.
Let's send a clear message: We need fair and balanced tax reform to ensure corporations and the wealthiest pay their fair share and to guarantee the funding our communities need to thrive.

Amid rising costs and growing inequality, Australia's system continues to prioritise excessive corporate profits and the ultra-wealthy over the needs of everyday people. From locking people out of housing to delaying climate action and driving up everyday expenses, the impacts of this broken system are felt everywhere.
The People Over Profit campaign is powered by thousands of voices across Australia who are calling for a fairer future – one where big corporations don't control the rules, and everyone has a shot at a decent life.
Part of this campaign is getting rid of a tax system that allows corporations and the ultra-rich to exploit loopholes and avoid paying their fair share. This entrenches inequality, while communities are left underfunded and critical reforms are blocked.
This campaign is about exposing the greed driving inequality by calling for fair and balanced tax system.
By prioritising people over profits, we can create a fairer system that ensures affordable housing, tackles the climate crisis, and delivers a future where everyone can thrive. Together, we can build a movement to demand the change this country needs.

To our leaders and decision-makers,
Inequality in Australia is spiralling, driven by corporations and the ultra-rich raking in excessive profits while avoiding paying their fair share. This system puts profits over people, leaving communities struggling and essential services underfunded. It’s time for bold corporate tax reform to tackle greed, reduce inequality, and put people back at the heart of our economy.
