Petition : End fossil fuel subsidies for big mining companies
End fossil fuel subsidies for big mining companies http://greensmps.org.au/content/end-fossil-fuel-subsidies-big-mining-companies 11 Apr 2013 | Christine Milne
Dear Prime Minister Gillard & Treasurer Swan:
I support ending fossil fuel subsidies for big mining companies.
The diesel fuel rebate and accelerated depreciation for assets and exploration will cost the Australian people more than $13 billion over the next four years.
That $13 billion would be far better spent caring for people, instead of the mining lobby. Imagine: what would that mean for our public school students?
It’s more than enough to increase Newstart by $50 a week, reverse your cuts to vital support for single parents, and more.
Your petitioners ask that you:
End these subsidies that drive the fossil fuel pollution driving global warming, and invest in people instead.
