No taxpayer money for Adani!
Turnbull is bending over backwards to hand Adani hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars through the government's shadowy credit agency EFIC — the Export Finance and Insurance Corporation.
Turnbull's government went so far as to change the rules of EFIC to allow the agency to fund projects just like Adani.1 And now they're planning to use EFIC to pump the project full of money via the backdoor, handing over huge sums to Adani's subcontractors.2
But taxpayers don't want to use their own hard-earned money to prop up a corrupt billionaire's coal mine.
We want our taxes invested in health, education, and clean energy — not handed over to a mining giant to throw at dirty and outdated technology.
Sign the petition against EFIC funding for Adani!

SIGN THE PETITION
To: The Prime Minister, The Federal Minister for Trade and Tourism, and the EFIC board,
We do not want EFIC handing our taxpayer dollars to mining giant Adani.
Adani's track record of tax evasion, corruption, bribery, and environmental destruction proves the company can't be trusted with taxpayer funds.
Public money should be used to fund services like health, education, and clean energy - that will benefit us all.
We call on our Federal Government and the EFIC board to rule out any funding for Adani or its suppliers.
