Australian major parties are so captured by fossil fuel interests the idea of corps actually paying for resources and taxes to have a functional civil society is beyond their consideration

Oh my god - Australia is such a #capturedstate that we increased our fossil fuel subsidies last year by a lazy $1.2billion MORE.
“Fossil fuel subsidies cost Australians a staggering $11.6 billion in 2021-22, an increase of $1.3 billion in the last year”
Outrageous!

This is the cost of electing climate deniers that are a government of & by fossil fuel boards.
When all that matters to your government is the quarterly share price of their mate’s businesses, we have to pay for it.
Suckers! #capturedstate
