Thank you, deputy speaker. BHP is the world's largest mining company and Australia's largest company. They've made a staggering $91,000,000,000 in profit over the last ten years. So why? Why did they receive $622,000,000 in fuel tax credits just in the last year?
That is Australian taxpayers subsidizing diesel for the world's largest mining company. People are right to be really angry about this. BHP is one of many mining companies benefiting from generous fuel subsidies while everyday Australians have to pay full price. Meanwhile, the government has made huge cuts to public services in the budget, including cuts to the renewables transition. Perhaps instead of cutting funding for renewables, they should be looking at the billions in subsidies that we're giving to the mining sector every year.
