@seasiders2 Here we go again: another misleading PR push from the mining lobby, claiming they’re single-handedly funding the nation.
Reality check: global mining giants masterfully dodge taxes via loopholes—shifting profits to tax havens, robbing communities of funds for schools & healthcare. Transfer pricing tricks & inflated fees between affiliates are routine.
Same old extractive playbook: privatize profits, socialize costs, leave environmental wreckage behind.
Meanwhile, corporate lawyers are coaching the industry on battling “resource nationalism” from governments seeking fair revenue.
Time to cut through the spin & demand these corps pay their fair share.

@rafa_font Finland shows what real transparency looks like. Public tax records and very high earners paying their fair share builds trust and funds public services everyone relies on. Australia could learn a lot from this instead of secrecy carve outs and endless concessions for the wealthy. Standing ovation indeed.

"The gas rig is operated by #ConocoPhillips, a US oil and gas giant. Not only is ConocoPhillips making massive profits from destroying our climate and environment, but according to Australia Institute research, it is one of the corporations that have paid $0 tax, despite recording $16 billion total income since 2015.

That means, if you have paid any tax in Australia in the last decade, you have contributed more than ConocoPhillips."
