@TinaThePerson people who've had your position but still give advice like this are the reason humanity has hope! We're all in this together, money isn't real, can't have capitalism if all the capital is hidden. #TaxTheRich #taxthemnow

In light of #COP27 I'm reposting this piece on making the fossil fuel companies pay for the mess we are in that I wrote for Overland in March.

Australian fossil fuel companies are projected to export more than $379bn worth of oil and gas by June this year. According to research from Market Forces, as many as sixty-two of these companies paid no tax in 2019-20.

As we process the magnitude of these floods, while still trying to make sense of the black summer fires, it is clear that we are going to need significant resources to manage the ongoing, rolling crises that will define our lives in the decades to come.

As these impacts become more and more frequent, we need to organise around the idea that those responsible for the climate crisis must pay for the mess they have made.
