Why You Pay More

Here is one example of the fossil fuels subsidies i talk about (where society rewards the burning of fossil fuels). This one comes as a quick image from Environment Victoria.

While Australian motorists pay 38 cents per litre in tax, mining companies get a tax refund on their fuel bill. It's called the Fuel Tax Credits scheme, and costs Australia around $6 billion per year.

Environment Victoria has more information this and other fossil fuel subsidies, and an opportunity for you to take action.

UPDATE: There is also an online petition aiming for 100,000 signatures
