If you forward information on the tax to as many people as possible, you will raise awareness. This tax is unconstitutional, and PRRT contains secrecy clauses, which means if you were a "whistleblower" you could be liable for $10,000 fine and or 2 years jail. Worse still, you could not present any documents relating to that company to the court.

When you become a follower, you help raise the status of the campaign. You can Email our cartoons, or pics. use them as screensavers and as an opportunity to raise the Supertax issue. Respect our efforts by adding our links, and giving credit for our volunteered work.

so now the greens want the RSPT.. anything for labors second preferences

so the deal is: greens support the RSPT or maybe no second preferences from labor! or have we got it wong (ha ha joke)?
read below and beware. Mega's main reasons for opposing the RSPT is that

1. It is against the "fairness" of Australia. all companies and industries should be treated the same and are entitled to know that the amount of tax they have to pay is the same as other companies.
2. It will present a precedent for governments to then seek out other "high income" industries.
3 It is against the constitution re taxation. section 55 (i) and (ii). especially if WA and Qld are rewarded with a higher share of the revenues.
4. It has created an unnecessary division in Australia, rich against poor.
5. the RSPT tax will result in higher energy costs for Australians.The poor will pay.

below is an example of that division and how cleverly the Government has created a group to be hated.. Isn't that what Hitler did?
I'm sad to see that the greens are looking after their own political interest, in siding with and supporting labor, regarding this issue.

Greens warn Labor on mining tax

The Australian Greens won't rule out dropping their support for Labor's proposed resource super-profits tax if the government caves in to pressure from mining companies.
But leader Bob Brown has stopped short of saying the minor party will try to block a modified tax plan in the Senate.
The government is keen to reach a settlement with the industry over the 40 per cent tax ahead of an election, to be held possibly as early as August.
The Greens would not look kindly on a "substantial cave-in against the public interest", Senator Brown said.
"Then we will be looking at that with a very jaundiced eye," he told ABC Radio on Wednesday.
The Greens are insisting any deal with industry maintains the $12 billion in revenue forecast in the budget's forward estimates.
Senator Brown said the mining companies were demonstrating brutal power by demanding the government meet their demands or risk a revival of the industry's advertising campaign against the tax.
"I am astonished as this very, very arrogant show of power from the mining corporations," he said.
