The Aporia · Bold new push to give Aussies an extra $1,000 per year as Greens unveil shake-up funded by gas and mining giants

Greens leader David Shoebridge unveiled a new tax policy at the National Press Club on Wednesday that would lift Australia's tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $26,000, saving almost every working Australian around $1,000 annually. The plan also includes an extra $1,000 per year for those receiving income support like pensioners and students. To fund this $22 billion annual commitment, the Greens propose a 25% gas export tax and a market-linked resource rent tax, expected to generate about $45 billion. Shoebridge argues that these measures will address inequality without contributing to inflation by targeting corporate profits from resource companies.

Story summary

The Greens party unveiled a new tax plan aimed at redistributing wealth by imposing taxes on gas and mining companies to benefit ordinary Australians. In his address to the National Press Club on October 25, David Shoebridge, the new party leader, proposed lifting the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $26,000, which would give almost every working Australian an extra $1,000 annually. Additionally, those on income support like pensioners and students would receive an additional $1,000 per year. To fund this initiative, the Greens plan to introduce a 40% tax on excessive profits earned by corporations after the first $100 million in turnover, a 25% gas export tax, and a market-linked resource rent tax, estimated to generate around $45 billion annually. Shoebridge argued that these measures would ensure Australians receive their fair share of windfall profits from natural resources, which are owned by the public. The policy is expected to cost approximately $22 billion per year and could be negotiated with Labor before the next election in May 2028.
