BHP got $622 million back last year. Rio Tinto $432 million. Glencore $349 million. These are not struggling businesses. They are among the most profitable companies on Earth, and your taxes are buying their fuel. When a mining company replaces its machinery, it picks between diesel and electric. The government steps in and makes diesel cheaper, with public money. So diesel wins, year after year, and mining emissions keep climbing. Electrifying our mines is one of the biggest emissions cuts this country can make. The machines already exist. The main barrier is a subsidy we’re all paying for. That’s why I’ve got a policy proposal to make fuel tax fair, by capping these Fuel Tax Credits at $50 million dollars - impact just 26 companies. In its first three years of operation, this would return $4.7 billion to the budget. Click the link and tell your MP to make fuel tax fair.
