What difference does $74 billion really mean for Australians?
According to the latest government data, Australian mining paid $74 billion in taxes and royalties in one year
That includes 30% of all company tax paid in Australia, more than any other industry.
This contribution helps fund the services Australians rely on every day. It’s enough to fund Medicare, so people can see a GP, visit a specialist or get a scan without paying the full cost on their own.
