Just a reminder - while NDIS subsidies are allegedly 'unsustainable' fossil fuel subsidies grew by 9.6% in the last year to $16.3bn. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
If the NDIS is ‘runaway spending’, what do we call $16 billion in fossil fuel subsidies?
New research shows fossil fuel subsidies will reach $16.3 billion in 2025–26, rising faster than the NDIS. Handouts to mining giants are growing faster than support for Australians with disability.
@amyremeikis.bsky.social I have always said that the market should be allowed to determine if fossil fuels are economical or not. That we throw money at Magnates like Gina suggests that without the government subsidy it would be uneconomical to dig up that coal or process that gas. Let the market decide - governments should butt out.
