Food banks are struggling to keep up with demand as the cost-of-living crisis continues to deepen. More families are being forced to choose between paying bills, putting food on the table, or keeping a roof over their heads.
While ordinary people are doing it tough, governments continue to refuse to properly tax multinational gas exporters and the ultra-wealthy billionaires who have benefited the most from our economy.
The Greens have a different plan: make big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share, invest in affordable housing, lower the cost of essential services, and provide real relief for people doing it tough.
Australia is a wealthy country. No one should be going hungry while a handful of corporations make billions in profits.
It's time for a fairer economy that puts people before corporate profits. đź’š
