"Over the last ten years, the population has increased by 16%, and the number of homes has increased by 19%." "The housing crisis wasn't caused by a drop in supply." Matt Grudnoff @auspol

"The Australian Government collects more money from HECS than it does from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. "Thank you, children. You're the backbone of our economy, not the gas industry." Executive Director Richard Denniss at National Press Club @RDNS_TAI #auspol

“In Australia we don’t tax [the gas] industry. It’s foreign owned, and other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of [our gas] exports. “And we’re the ones going ‘Gee, the air conditioning is a bit expensive’”. ✍ Support a 25% tax:

"Starting to attack whether or not women should get paid maternity leave starts leading to 'women should be in the home'... "Which I'm not sure is necessarily a choice that a lot of women care to make, or could necessarily even afford to make." - Amy Remeikis #auspol

The idea that mass immigration is to blame for the housing crisis doesn't stack up when you look at the data. Over the past 20 years the amount of housing in Australia has actually increased faster than the population has grown! 📈 #auspol

New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing Australian gas than the Australian Government! "They're taxing our gas. There's no reason we can't." - co-CEO Richard Denniss #auspol

"It's just frustrating having worked in climate for over 30 years to now learn the only way that we get a national park....when we give a free kick to the oil and gas industry so they can greenwash." -Nicolette Boele MP Nicolette Boele MP #auspol

A 1.4% levy on the gambling industry could compensate the media for ALL revenue lost from a potential gambling advertising ban. Australians lose more money gambling than any other country. It's time for our governments to act. Amy Remeikis #auspol

It's time to stop the expansion of fossil fuels. 🎤co-CEO Leanne Minshull Add your name to demand strong environment laws that can stop new coal and gas now! ✍️

In 90 secs Joseph E. Stiglitz explains what's causing inflation: "Neoliberalism has given full rein to the growth of market power," "Sectors of the economy where there is more market power, have had more inflation. We call it greedflation." On #QandA last night. #auspol

Coal power stations are unreliable and expensive. They're continually breaking down, causing blackouts and driving up electricity bills. The sooner we transition to renewables, the sooner we can have more reliable, cheaper energy. Mark Ogge #auspol

We're so excited to announce that Amy Remeikis has joined our team here at The Australia Institute! She will be doing all the same amazing analysis and reporting you know and love with us, so keep an eye on our channels for more! #auspol

“In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Australia Institute co-CEO Richard Denniss. Add your name to the call and demand the gas industry pays its fair share:

The rumours were true, the budget brought big changes for negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount! "For the first time in forever, I'm actually optimistic about housing affordability." - Matt Grudnoff Greg Jericho #auspol #Budget2026

This morning our co-CEO Leanne Minshull helped launch a public inquiry into AUKUS! Australians deserve transparency and should not be asked to simply accept a project of this magnitude without scrutiny. leanne minshull #auspol

“Australians agree that our resources belong to us. Gas that is exported from this country should be paid for by the gas companies that exported and a 25% has export tax is the way to go. - Senator David Pocock ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax:

"Capital gain means you bought an asset and sold it for more. You haven't added anything to the economy." "We should tax this kind of passive income that doesn't add anything to the economy more heavily. But in Australia we do the reverse." Matt Grudnoff Ebony Bennett #auspol

The Climate Risk Assessment report predicts 1.5 million Australians will be affected by sea level rise within 25 years. The length of the average mortgage? 30 years. Greg Jericho #auspol
