Support Neo-socialist Class Warfare!

Tony Abbot described the call for a greater share of our mineral wealth as
“neo-socialism”.... Christopher Pyne called it "class warfare”.... They're
right!

In 2010 the Henry Review of the Australia taxation system recommended
extending the existing Petroleum Resource Rent Tax levied on off-shore
petroleum extraction activities. This source of public income was
considered a highly efficient, effective, and fair way to ensure that all
people of Australia have a better share of the commonwealth that is our
mineral resources.

Although supported by mining unions, some mining companies used to
receiving monopolistic profits objected to the idea to raising billions of
dollars of public funds which has been specifically directed to pensions,
tax cuts for small businesses and infrastructure projects. They spent $22
million dollars in advertising, forcing the government to reduce the size
and scope of the rent to iron ore and coal alone.

How do we Defend and Extend the Minerals Resource Rent Against the Most
Powerful Vested Interests in Australia?
