The economy isn't working for the 99% of people who work hard in Australia - it's working for the top 1%. The Greens want that to change.
Want the economy to work for YOU, not just the 1%?

An extra $1092/year will help everyone with rising costs.
The Greens will also raise the rate of all social security payments to above the poverty line, take on the Coles-Woolies duopoly, and protect renters.
We’re fighting for you, not corporate profits! 2/2
Queensland Greens retweeted
Every Australian deserves to share in the wealth that comes from our own resources.
The Greens will make big corporations pay up so you can keep more money in your pocket.
Whether your income comes from a wage or a social security payment, you’ll benefit from our plan. 1/2

We can demand more than Labor’s managed decline.
We can build an economy that works for people, not corporate profit - and a country confident enough to chart its own path.
The Greens are ready to lead.
Join us.

We’ve done this before.
The vote. The eight-hour working day. Medicare. Public education. Safe workplaces.
Progress happened because people came together, demanded better and turned that movement into political change.
Queensland Greens retweeted
We need to address inequality right now.
The country's wealth is being siphoned up to a tiny ultra-rich.
The top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 75% combined.
Just look at the average wealth of the 1% over the past few decades compared with everyone else.
Queensland Greens retweeted
This is bigger than one tax cut.
It’s about changing who our economy works for.
We can have a government that puts money in people’s pockets instead of protecting excessive corporate profits.
Queensland Greens retweeted
That’s why we’ll fund this plan by making gas and mining corporations pay back $45 billion a year of their massive profits.
Fossil fuel and mining giants are sitting on rivers of gold and it’s time they coughed up.
Queensland Greens retweeted
When commodity prices boom, Australians should get a fair share.
These resources belong to all of us, yet we’re getting a shocking deal.
Australia collects just 14% of the value of our petroleum in public revenue, while big corps take a record share of our economy in profits.
Queensland Greens retweeted
And we won’t leave people behind.
We’ll provide the same $1,000 boost for people on income support, so millions of single Australian pensioners, carers, students and jobseekers get cost-of-living relief too.
Queensland Greens retweeted
Under the Greens plan, we’ll raise the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $26,000.
That means the first $26,000 you earn is tax-free.
For almost every working Australian, that’s more than $1,000 in your pocket every year.
Queensland Greens retweeted
The Greens are today announcing our plan to cut tax on work and put more money in people's pockets.
Every Australian will have an extra $1000, paid for by the 1%.
The cost-of-living crisis isn’t inevitable. We can change who pays tax and who gets relief.
Want to hear our plan for Australia? đź‘€
Tune in to @DavidShoebridge's National Press Club address TODAY, 12.30 AEDT on ABC TV and iview.

Fortunately my Greens Senate colleagues will be able to ask some questions in my absence – a big thank-you to them and their teams! 💚🙏
There’s a small chance I might be able to join remotely for a portion of the hearings later in the week. I’ll post again when I know more.
Queensland Greens retweeted
Family must come first, but naturally I’m disappointed I won’t be there. Estimates is an essential accountability mechanism and I was looking forward to getting some answers on aged care assessments, Centrelink payment suspensions, private school accountability and much more.
Queensland Greens retweeted
If you're following events in Parliament House you'll know that Senate estimates hearings are happening this week. Sadly, I won’t be able to participate this time. My husband Darin is recovering from a serious health condition and will require care while he gets back on his feet.

Every new fossil fuel project means more homes destroyed, more lives lost, more communities ripped apart & billions of dollars in economic damage.
$6 billion in bushfire costs should be a huge wake-up call for any sane government. Instead, Labor is doubling down on coal & gas.
Queensland Greens retweeted
We’re heading into another dangerous summer, with a record-breaking El Niño. We need an urgent cessation of new coal and gas approvals, investment to prepare communities for what’s coming, and support for those who will be on the frontline of these incoming disasters.
Queensland Greens retweeted
BREAKING: Labor’s coal and gas addiction comes with $6 billion annual bushfire bill
Unbelievably, Labor is staring down the barrel of climate destruction and still approving new coal and gas.

Shocked to hear the news about @helenhainesindi. Sending love to Helen, her family, friends and staff.
